“I’m linked to a great moment in golf history. I don’t shy away from it. I’m not haunted by it."

Hard to believe it was 15 years ago when we watched Steve Scott and Tiger Woods battle it out at Pumpkin Ridge. Randall Mell catches up with Scott, who talks about the match, his career in golf and his hot caddy from that Amateur.

If you’re wondering if the questions come as painful jabs, as annoying reminders that he lost that historic battle, you’re wrong. Scott says he’s grateful he’s remembered for his part in history. There’s proof in his office at the club. There are reminders all over his walls, photographs from that epic Sunday.

There’s one large photo Scott had blown up, with Scott hitting a tee shot at the 12th hole and Woods watching. It’s signed by Woods.

“Hi Steve,” Woods wrote. “Nice shot. Best wishes, Tiger Woods.”

Scott was 5 up that day, but he lost the match after it was extended to extra holes (38 holes).

“People wonder if I get tired of being asked about it,” Scott said. “It’s far from a sore subject. It was a great day for me. What happened in the U.S. Amateur finals set so many things in motion in my life. It opened so many doors.”
