94th Illinois State Amateur Championship

Less Continues Winning Ways, Adds 94th Illinois State Am Title to His Mantle

Heading into the 94th Illinois State Amateur Championship at Stonebridge Country Club, there were just 12 men who had earned the chance to hoist both the Louis L. Emmerson and Joseph G. Davis Trophies as State Am and CDGA Amateur victors, respectively. Most recently, it was Pierce Grieve achieving that feat at the 105th CDGA Amateur Championship this June. Jordan Less (Elmhurst) added his name to that historic list Thursday with a clutch 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th green to defeat Connor Hamm (Macomb) by one shot.
