I grew up playing golf tournaments, but I rarely watch anything other than majors, US Amateur, and Ryder cup. There is no freaking way I expected Piot to win this tournament. He doesn't blister it off the tee, and he misses a lot of shots right. But the more that I watched him play, the more I was impressed with grit that he has to him. He also has the ability to string together several very good holes. His win today was amazing. Oakmont is one of the five toughest courses in the country IMO, and to do it at Oakmont is that much more amazing. Winning the US Amateur is life changing. I really don't know if Piot has a game that translates to the PGA. He does have uncanny poise, however, and he is the US Amateur Champion.
