Michigan State golfer James Piot made history on Sunday when he won the 121st U.S. Amateur Championship. Of course, his fellow Spartans were there to celebrate after his win. In a touching moment, seemingly the entire MSU men’s golf team was there with Piot celebrating after his win.

Piot is the first ever Michigan-born player to win the tournament, and first Big Ten winner since 1978. With the win, Piot earns exemption into the 2022 Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championships. Piot plans to come back for a fifth year at Michigan State.
James Piot learned and practiced golf at Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center near Ann Arbor
where SNUCMAA OF MICHIGAN
had held our golf tournament many times and Michigan alumni played often for years.
There are three courses, and the championship course is called Golden Fox.
I have many fond memories there.
It is a challenging course. It is great to see MSU golf team being highlighted in the golfing world.
