The following year, 1993, Woods won his third consecutive U.S. Junior Amateur at Waverly Country Club in Oregon. He defeated another future PGA Tour winner Ohio-native, Ryan Armour. Woods had also defeated Armour in the 1992 semi-finals. Before the age of 18, Tiger had won three consecutive U.S. Junior Amateur titles a record that will never be equaled, but he was not finished. Playing in the U.S. Amateur for the first time in 1994, Woods defeated Trip Kuehne at TPC Sawgrass for his fourth consecutive USGA National title. Kuehne went on to be a threetime All-American and 1995 Ben Hogan Award winner. As an amateur, he was a three-time Walker Cup player and qualified for four U.S. Opens and two Masters. In 1995, Woods took down Buddy Marucci, an accomplished amateur golfer, 2-up at Newport Country Club in Rhode Island to clinch the title and give him five USGA National championships in a row. In 1996, at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Oregon, Woods won his third consecutive U.S. Amateur title and sixth consecutive USGA National championship. From 1991 to 1996 Tiger amassed six consecutive USGA National titles. Three U.S. Junior Amateurs and three consecutive U.S. Amateurs. With the amazing things that Tiger Woods accomplished in his golf career, these six consecutive USGA titles as an amateur are something that will never be repeated. Ohio Golf Journal
