The draw

No match of the 1905 draw is recorded in our data yet beyond the final result above.

How this was built

Every value is shown as recorded in GNN's U.S. Amateur data set (research collected through October 20, 2026). "unknown" means no source confirmed it; nothing is estimated. Where sources disagree, the USGA's own record is used.

This year's champion, runner-up, result and venue come from GNN's first-pass host-sites table; the rest of the year record for 1895–1916 is still being written up. The draw comes from contemporary reports listed in the data.
