Sylvania Country Club hosted the 2024 Ohio Amateur. Andrew Bailey from Shaker Heights fired four rounds of 67-70-66-66 to get to 19-under par and best the runner-up Xenia’s Tyler Goecke by a single stroke. Eight players finished tied for third place at 13-under par.
Sylvania’s rolling terrain and tree-lined fairways proved to be no match for Ohio’s top amateurs.
Goecke, a fifth-year senior at Illinois, was the highest ranked amateur in the field. He held the 54-hole lead and seemed in control until the defending champion Bailey trailed by three strokes heading into the final round and his second consecutive 66 was good enough to earn him a second consecutive Ohio Amateur title.
