Jay Leng: Western Amateur Champion and Elite Amateur Cup Winner

Stanford golfer Jay Leng joins the AmateurGolf.com Podcast after a career-defining summer that included winning the Western Amateur Championship and capturing the Elite Amateur Golf Series Cup.

Leng takes us inside one of the most demanding weeks in amateur golf—from arriving at Beverly Country Club without seeing the course to navigating weather delays, 36-hole days and most of the championship without a caddie. He explains how resilience, creativity and a shot-by-shot mindset helped him advance through four rounds of stroke play and a loaded match-play bracket.

Jay also discusses his unconventional approach to the golf swing, the influence of growing up in San Diego, his development at Stanford and the confidence he is carrying into his junior season.

Finally, Leng looks ahead to the U.S. Amateur and the PGA TOUR opportunities earned through his Elite Amateur Cup victory—and shares what it means to compete against players he grew up watching on television.
