The best amateur finish in that time period came last year when Bryson DeChambeau finished tied for 21st. During the 10 year time frame a total of 54 amateurs have played in the event with just nine players making the cut.
Over that same frame the only amateur to make the cut twice was Hideki Matsuyama in 2011 when he finished as low amateur and 2012. There were four years where no amateurs made the cut, one year where three made the cut, one where two made the cut and four where one player made the cut.
