Today marks the 18th anniversary of Tiger Woods winning the 95th annual United States Amateur Championship at Newport Country Club in Newport, RI.  Woods defeated George “Buddy” Mariucci, a luxury-car dealer from Pennsylvania, 2-up to win his second straight Amateur title and his second of three straight.
