NORMAN, Okla. -- Sixth-seeded Brad Benjamin topped top-seeded Nick Taylor 7 and 6 in the
30-hole finale of the U.S. Amateur Public Links golf championship at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club in Norman, Okla.
The U.S. Amateur Publinx champion is traditionally invited to play in the following year's Masters, provided he retains his amateur status. Benjamin plans to play in Augusta.
Taylor, the low amateur (tied for 36th) in this year's U.S. Open, had breezed to the final round. The University of Washington golfer from Abbotsford, B.C., had won his five other matches in 14, 12, 13, 17 and 16 holes.
