Teen golfer Mason Howell won the US Amateur in dominant fashion. At just 18, he draws Tiger Woods comparisons but faces big questions about his future.

The 18-year-old Howell raced out to a big lead over Tennessee teenager Jackson Herrington on the opening 18 holes and went on to win the 36-hole final, 7 and 6, to become the youngest US Amateur champion since Byeong Hun An won at age 17 in 2009 at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Okla.

SAN FRANCISCO – The U.S. Walker Cup team for next month’s match at Cypress Point is complete. The USGA announced Sunday the remaining five selections to captain Nathan Smith’s 10-man squad – newly minted U.S. Amateur champion Mason Howell, Oklahoma’s Jase Summy, Texas’ Tommy Morrison, Notre Dame’s Jacob Modleski and mid-amateur Stewart Hagestad.

Mason Howell defeated Jon Daly's son, Daly II, in a tense US Amateur quarterfinal, sealing the match 1 up to reach the semifinals at the Olympic Club.
