Moore of Puyallup, Wash., won his second U.S.
Amateur Public Links Championship in three years

all summer, with wins at the Mountain West Conference
Championship, the NCAA Championship and the Sahalee
Players Championship. With the win, the three-time
Rolex Junior All-American earned an invitation
to next year's Masters tournament, where he made
the cut in 2003. Read more about Moore's victory

their AJGA careers.
