Neal Shipley earns low amateur honors at 124th U.S. Open days before turning pro

“It’s really an honor to win the low amateur here, and especially at Pinehurst,” Shipley said afterward. “It’s a really special place, and just really excited about being in the ceremony later today. It’s been wild; it’s something that maybe three, four years ago I didn’t think was possible, and to accomplish all this has just been phenomenal. Just the stuff of dreams really, as an amateur, to do everything I’ve done. I think I’ve checked all the boxes now.”
