Former UCA golfer Stan Lee yesterday became the youngest USGA Senior Amateur winner in history when he won the 2007 championship at Flint Hills National Golf Club in Andover, Kan.
According to the USGA, “At 55 years and five days, Lee surpassed the previous record of 55 years, three months and 18 days set by Bill Bosshard in 1991.”
“I cannot believe it,” Lee told the USGA. “It is a dream come true. I?m still kind of pinching myself to see if this is real or not. What an honor to win a USGA event. I?m just tickled to death.”
Lee, who lives in Heber Springs, played golf professionally in the PGA and is a former Arkansas state amateur golf champion.
