Augusta Golf Show Conversation With Scott Verplank
Here’s the Augusta Golf Show conversation with Scott Verplank. Scott has an incredible amateur record. He won six times on the PGA Tour, but how bout this.
He was on the 1983 NCAA National Championship team at Oklahoma St.
He won the 1984 US AMATEUR. In 1985 he won the Western Open on the PGA Tour while still an amateur in school. He stayed in school and went on to win the 1986 NCAA Individual Championship.
With Alabama’s Nick Dunlap winning the American Express tournament on the PGA Tour, it seemed like a great time to have a conversation with another golfer in that VERY small group of golfers.
Scott’s professional career was cut short by diabetes, but the record he leaves is a testament to just how good a golfer he was in his prime.
Here’s the conversation I had with Scott Verplank.
