Scottie Scheffler, a prominent figure on the PGA Tour, first grasped a golf club when he was only three years old. The PGA Tour star had an illustrious amateur career before going on to excel in the realm of professional golf.

The Olympic gold medalist's victory at the 2013 US Junior Amateur solidified his status as a rising star. In a thrilling match against Davis Riley, the 17-year-old PGA Tour sensation overcame a four-stroke deficit on the final day to secure the championship and cap off his junior career on a triumphant note.

Scheffler clinched the victory by winning the final four holes at the Martis Camp Club. 2013 marked the end of his junior golfing career, as it was his fourth and final appearance. Courtesy of the win, he became the sixth player from Texas to win the US Junior Amateur since 1999.
