The best 3 finishes by amateurs came in 1947, 1956, and 1961. It'll never happen in the modern game. I think the best one could do was probably Sam Bennett a couple of years ago.
Bennett finished 16th in 2023. He was playing absolutely out of his mind and finished 10 off the lead as well.Bryson finished 21st in 2016. 10 strokes off the lead mind you, but he was tied for 2nd through 35 holes.
They'll be another young phenom eventually that will challenge Tiger as the best modern day golfer ever.
