Woods Named to U.S. World Amateur Team

Tiger Woods was one of four players chosen Tuesday to represent the United States in next month’s World Amateur Team Championship, to be played in Versailles, France.

Woods, a three-time U.S. Junior Amateur champion from Cypress, won the U.S. Amateur last month with a dramatic comeback against Trip Kuehne. At 18, Woods became the youngest winner of the championship.

Joining him on the team are Allen Doyle, 46, a three-time selection from LaGrange, Ga.; John Harris, 42, of Edina, Minn., and Todd Demsey, 22, of Rancho Santa Fe. Chris Riley, 20, of El Cajon, and Kuehne, 22, of McKinney, Tex., are the first and second alternates.

The United States Golf Assn. selects the team based upon the players’ performances over the last two years.
