2008 Silicon Valley Am Champ

SAN JOSE, Calif. (Jan. 20, 2008)-- The conditions at Coyote Creek Golf Club turned challenging quickly at the second day of the amateurgolf.com Silicon Valley Amateur, but Atascadero's Jeremy Gearhart was able to grind out a one-stroke victory over defending champion Randy Haag and Colin Peck.

"I pretty much played smart, birdied 4 and 5 then on 16 Randy went in the hazard and made six (while he made 4)," said Gearhart. "On 18 I hit into the water and had to re-tee, but I ended up making six and that was enough, it got dicey out there towards the end with the rain."

Mark Miller, the reigning NCGA Senior Player-of-the-Year topped Neil Duffy and Tony Wilmer in a playoff to win the senior flight.

In the net flight, Tim Yager broke into the winner's circle after consecutive top-five finishes at the amateurgolf.com Monterey Bay Championship by firing a final-round 72, topping James Grensted by a stroke.

"I think I decided to play the risk/reward scenario differently today," said Yager. "I layed up on the par-5's to get better position."

ABOUT THE AGC Silicon Valley Amateur

>> 2024 TOUR PORTAL

The Silicon Valley Amateur is the first AmateurGolf.com tournament to have, on its past winner's list, a MAJOR champion. That would be Collin Morikawa, who won the 2016 title. Just over four years later, he won the PGA Championship just up the road at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. Multiple PGA Tour star and Morikawa's fellow 2023 USA Ryder Cup team member Max Homa also won the Silicon Valley Amateur in 2011.

For 2024, the tournament is moving to a new venue -- Stanford University Golf Course. Tournament players will relish competing at a course normally reserved for university students and faculty. Please note that we will play on Monday and Tuesday, and expect this event will fill very quickly.
