About

Cantlay had a stellar freshman season at UCLA, winning three collegiate events and being named Pac-10 Golfer of the Year, first-team All-American and first-team All- Pac-10. He was named the recipient of the Jack Nicklaus Award, presented to the NCAA Division I player of the year, and the Phil Mickelson Award, presented to the freshman of the year.

Cantlay continued his strong play into the summer. He was the low amateur at the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club, tying for 21st place. He shot 60 in the second round of the Travelers Championship on the PGA Tour, which set the record for the lowest round in a PGA Tour event by an amateur. He went on to finish 24th in the event. He also had a top-25 finish at PGA Tour’s AT&T National at Aronomink outside of Philadelphia and tied for ninth at the RBC Canadian Open.

Before going to the Canadian Open, he claimed the 2011 Southern California Golf Association Amateur in July. Then in August, he was the runner-up to Ethan Tracy at the Western Amateur, losing the final match, 1 down.

He currently is the top-ranked amateur, according to the World Amateur Golf Ranking supported by the USGA and The R&A.

At the 2011 U.S. Amateur, Cantlay survived several close calls -- he beat Russell Henley in 21 holes after being down two with two to play and Max Buckley in 19 holes being down two with two to play -- before losing in the 36- hole championship match to Kelly Kraft, 2 down.

Prior to UCLA, Cantlay had an exceptional junior career highlighted by the 2010 U.S. Amateur at Chambers Bay, where he reached the semifinals, losing to eventual champion Peter Uihlein. He also played in the 2009 U.S. Amateur and U.S. Junior Amateur. Cantlay was named High School Golfer of the Year by the Orange County Register in 2009 and 2010 and won the 2008 Junior America’s Cup and Hogan Cup.
