2018 U.S. Amateur Championship at Pebble Beach

Monroe Township, NJ (August 13, 2018) --Forsgate Country Club member Matt Cocorikis, who qualified to play in this week’s U.S. Amateur Championship, is looking forward to competing in the field of 312 golfers at Pebble Beach Golf Links. Cocorikis, a resident of Monroe Township, New Jersey, will be a senior this fall at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and is the golf team’s No. 1 player. This year’s U.S. Amateur, which was open to male golfers with a handicap index not exceeding 2.4, had some 7,463 entries.

“We congratulate Matt for qualifying for the prestigious U.S. Amateur,” said Chris Schiavone, Forsgate’s managing partner. “This is a notable feat especially because of the thousands of talented golfers who competed at 79 sites to make the championship field. Forsgate Country Club takes great pride in our accomplished members who work hard to gain entry to play in a national competition. We wish Matt great success in his first U.S. Amateur.”

As a junior, Cocorikis was named an All-America Scholar for 2017-18 by the Golf Coaches Association of America. He also led the Indiana University of Pennsylvania men’s golf team with the lowest stroke average of 75.79.

The U.S. Amateur format consists of two rounds of stroke play with only 64 golfers advancing into four days of single elimination match play. The surviving two finalists play a one day 36-hole match for the title.
