How this was built
What is included: every U.S. Amateur from 1895 to 2026, newest first: the champion, the club, the final result (or the winning score in the 1965–1972 stroke-play years), and a link to that year's page with every recorded match of its draw.
Where it comes from: the data file behind this room (us-amateur/data/us-amateur.json, research collected through October 20, 2026), built from the USGA U.S. Amateur record books and contemporary newspaper reports. Each row names its own sources on its year page.
What is not claimed: many early draws are recorded only from the round of 16 or 32, and 1919–1941 mostly only to the final; a round the data does not hold is left out, not filled. Values found only on Wikipedia are flagged on the year pages.
