Former Ohio University Golfer Jimmy Ellis Finishes Runner-up in Crump Cup For those that don’t know about the Crump Cup, it is one of the most elite titles in amateur golf. Held on one of the most mysterious courses, Pine Valley, it annually attracts the best amateur golfers. Pine Valley is annually ranked as one of the best courses in the world and also one of its most exclusive. It is a treasured invitation for those golfers invited to play in the George A. Crump Memorial Tournament. It is an opportunity to go behind the curtain and experience a place that most will never see, in a tournament with a set of traditions and playing conditions that make it unlike any other event on the amateur schedule. Jimmy Ellis, who played collegiately at Ohio University, made it to the final match against the eventual winner, Stephen Behr Jr. from Alpharetta, Georgia. Behr was playing in his first Crump Cup. In the semi-final match, Ellis had to go 19 holes to defeat two-time U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Stewart Hagestad, from California, to get into Sunday afternoon’s championship match.
