Bandon Dunes gets U.S. Amateur for 2020 — The USGA has named Bandon Dunes Golf Resort the host for the 2020 U.S. Amateur, the sixth time it will host a major USGA championship since 2006. It will be the first U.S. Amateur hosted by the resort, which has four courses that have all hosted major amateur championships. The last championship held on the Bandon Dunes course was the 2007 U.S. Mid-Amateur. Pacific Dunes has hosted two major amateur championships, including the U.S women’s Amateur Four-Ball Championship last week, while Bandon Trails and Old MacDonald hosted the men’s and women’s 2011 Amateur Public Links championships. The courses to be used for the 2020 U.S. Amateur will be announced at a later date.
