Doc Redman wins US Amateur Championship with overtime victory over Doug Ghim

Doc Redman won the US Amateur Championship in dramatic fashion, taking the final two holes of normal play and then beating Doug Ghim in overtime.

Redman drained a 60-foot eagle putt at 17 to put himself in contention, and forced an extra hole by winning 18.

A hole earlier, Redman had missed a four-footer to fall two holes behind with two to play, and his championship probably rested on the long, tricky putt.

And if the 19-year-old sophomore from Clemson felt even a bit of that pressure, he didn't show it as he holed out to complete an incredible comeback to win.

"I didn't even think about it, really," Redman said. "All that was going through my head was about making the putt and putting a good stroke on it. Honestly, I was just [thinking], 'You're going to make this. You're going to make this.' And it worked out well."

Redman rallied past Ghim and won on the first extra hole, claiming the Havemeyer Trophy in the 117th edition of the Amateur.

After Redman gave away his own lead with eight holes to play, Ghim was on the verge of victory with two holes left in the two-round final at Riviera Country Club.

But Redman capped his phenomenal putting day by making that 60-footer and following with a short, tricky birdie putt on the 36th hole to force overtime.

"I always have a lot of confidence from mid-range," said Redman, who puts his hand in his pocket before his stroke as part of his putting routine. "When I see one go in, I definitely get big eyes and I know I can make anything."
