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.
