Scott Mabon Hoch (/ˈhoʊk/ HOHK;[2] born November 24, 1955) is an American professional golfer, who represented his country in the Ryder Cup in 1997 and 2002.

Key Information

Early life

[edit]

In 1955, Hoch was born in Raleigh, North Carolina. While attending Needham B. Broughton High School, he won the 1973 North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) men's golf state championship.

Amateur career

[edit]

Hoch was a member of the golf team at Wake Forest University before graduating in 1978. In 1978, Hoch reached the final of the U.S. Amateur, losing 5 & 4 to John Cook.[3] His good play earned him membership for top international team competitions like the 1978 Eisenhower Trophy and the 1979 Walker Cup. The Americans won both events. His achievements in 1978 led to an invitation to the 1979 Masters Tournament where he tied for 34th place, the second low amateur only behind Bobby Clampett.

Professional career

[edit]

In 1979, Hoch turned professional after competing in the U.S. Amateur.

Hoch has won several tournaments, including the Western Open, the Ford Championship at Doral, the Heineken Dutch Open and the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. He also won the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average in 1986. He has featured in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Hoch is widely known for missing a two-foot-long putt that would have won the 1989 Masters Tournament on the first playoff hole, which he lost to Nick Faldo on the next hole.[4] At the 1987 PGA Championship, Hoch three-putted the 18th hole on Sunday from inside of ten feet. A two-putt would have secured a playoff spot for him.

Hoch is also well known for his infamous quote regarding playing in The Open Championship at the "home of golf" at St Andrews. Hoch referred to this course, considered hallowed ground by most golfers around the world, as "the worst piece of mess" he had ever seen.[5] Partly due to his Open Championship criticism Hoch has been characterized as an "ugly American." However he has played extensively abroad and done fairly well, with three victories on the Japan Golf Tour, a victory at European Tour's 1995 Dutch Open, and multiple victories on the Korean Tour.[6] He also has runner-up finishes at the 1987 Dunlop Phoenix Tournament, 1994 Casio World Open on the Japan Golf Tour,[7] 1995 New Zealand Open on the Australasian Tour, and the 1996 Dutch Open.

Hoch is the rare American golfer who has criticized the Ryder Cup. Before his participation in the 2002 event he described the Ryder Cup as "overrated" and thought that the competition had gotten too "inflammatory."[8]

Senior career

[edit]

In May 2007, Hoch won his first Champions Tour event, the FedEx Kinko's Classic. In February 2008, he won his second and third events in consecutive weeks.

In April 2019, Hoch won at the age of 63 the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf with Tom Pernice Jr. This first win in 11 years made him the oldest winner on the Champions Tour.[9] Hoch's record held until October 2021, when Bernhard Langer broke it at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic.

Personal life

[edit]

In 1982, Hoch said that he feared he was going to die after an intruder came into his hotel room in Tucson, Arizona, held him and his wife, Sally, at gunpoint, and tied them up for an hour.[10]

In 1989, Hoch said that he was "really hurt" after being named "Least Popular Golfer" in a poll of Tour players conducted by the Dallas Times Herald.[10]

"Buddy" Hoch Jr., pursued a career as a professional bowler. Hoch's mother, Phyllis A. Hoch, supported the family alongside his father's work in the local sports and recreation scene. Hoch's early exposure to golf stemmed directly from his father's employment managing the swimming pools at two prominent Raleigh-area clubs: Wildwood Country Club and Raleigh Country Club. As a child, he spent considerable time at these facilities, where his father encouraged him to play rather than perform maintenance tasks like raking sand traps. This familial support fostered his initial interest in the sport, providing regular access to courses and equipment during his formative years. Growing up in the Raleigh area profoundly shaped Hoch's development as a golfer, offering a nurturing environment with proximity to quality facilities and a family culture that valued athletic achievement. The hands-on involvement of his father not only introduced him to the game but also instilled a work ethic tied to golf course maintenance, blending recreation with responsibility in his daily routine.

These victories highlighted his emergence as a key player, earning him two-time All-American honors and All-ACC recognition for his contributions to the team's success. His college achievements underscored a strong foundation in golf, blending technical skill with competitive drive under Haddock's mentorship.

During his amateur career, Scott Hoch established himself as one of the top collegiate and regional golfers in the United States, particularly in the late 1970s while competing for . One of his earliest significant victories came in 1976 when he won the North Carolina Amateur Championship at Tanglewood Golf Club in , defeating Johnny Crooks in a playoff after both finished at 287. This triumph highlighted his emerging talent in and formats within his home state. In 1977, Hoch captured the prestigious Northeast Amateur Invitational at Wannamoisett in , a highly regarded event that has launched numerous professional careers. His performance there solidified his reputation among elite amateurs, showcasing consistent ball-striking and putting under competitive pressure. Hoch's most prominent national achievement occurred in 1978 at the U.S. Amateur Championship held at Plainfield in , where he advanced to the final but fell to John Cook by a score of 5 and 4. Despite the loss, reaching the championship match demonstrated his ability to compete at the highest level of American amateur , drawing attention from scouts and professionals.

Later that summer, he represented the in the Walker Cup at in , contributing to the team's victory with notable singles and performances, including a 3-and-1 win over British Amateur champion Peter McEvoy. These accomplishments, combined with his strong college showings, paved the way for his decision to turn professional later in 1979.

Transition to professional golf

Following a successful amateur career that included a runner-up finish in the 1978 U.S. Amateur, Scott Hoch turned professional in 1979 after graduating from the previous year. To gain entry to the , Hoch competed in the Fall 1979 Qualifying School at the International Country Club in . In the first round, he seized the early lead with a strong 3-under-par 69, showcasing the ball-striking precision that had marked his amateur success. However, the second round proved more challenging, as he posted a 6-over-par 78 amid windy conditions, leaving him six strokes behind the leader at 147 after 36 holes. Despite the mid-tournament stumble, Hoch rebounded over the remaining rounds to successfully earn his card, securing full playing privileges for the 1980 season as one of the top finishers in the six-round event. This qualification marked a pivotal step in his transition, allowing him to compete full-time on the premier professional circuit without prior extensive experience on mini-tours or developmental circuits.

This initial financial haul reflected his steady adjustment to the tour's demands, though he faced the typical challenges of a newcomer, including inconsistent putting that would persist as an area for refinement in subsequent years. No major changes to his setup or coaching staff were reported during this immediate post-qualification period, as he relied on the fundamentals honed during his and amateur days.

Professional career

PGA Tour debut and early successes

Scott Hoch earned his PGA Tour card by successfully navigating the Qualifying School in late 1979 and made his professional debut on the circuit in 1980. In his rookie campaign, he quickly demonstrated potential by capturing his first Tour victory at the Quad Cities Open in July, finishing three strokes ahead of the field with a tournament-record score of 14-under-par 266. Hoch's debut season included limited starts, but his performance earned him a full exempt status for the following year. Hoch's first full season arrived in 1981, where he began to build a reputation for consistency and precision ball-striking. He added to his early success with a win at the 1982 USF&G New Orleans Open, defeating the competition by two strokes, and repeated as champion at the in 1984 under its then-sponsorship as the . These breakthrough victories highlighted his ability to perform under pressure in regular Tour events during the early 1980s. Throughout the decade, Hoch maintained strong earnings, finishing in the top 40 on the money list every year from 1980 onward, with several top-10 placements that underscored his reliability. His pinnacle achievement in this period came in 1986, when he earned the for the lowest adjusted scoring average of 70.08 strokes per round over at least 60 rounds, a testament to his technical proficiency despite not securing a win that season.

Major tournament highlights

Scott Hoch's standout moment in major championship play occurred at the , where he tied at 5-under par 283 after a final-round 69, forcing a sudden-death playoff. On the first playoff hole (the par-4 10th), Hoch reached the green in two and faced a 2-foot birdie putt to claim his first major title, but he pulled it left of the cup, resulting in a bogey after Faldo also missed his birdie attempt. Faldo then birdied the second playoff hole (the 11th) to win, leaving Hoch with a runner-up finish that defined his major career frustrations. Beyond the Masters, Hoch delivered several other competitive performances in majors during his prime years. At the 1987 held at PGA National Golf Club, he finished tied for third, one stroke shy of a playoff spot behind winner and runner-up Mark McCumber. In the 1993 U.S. Open at , Hoch tied for fifth at 2-under par 278, six shots behind champion Lee Janzen. Additional strong results included a tied for fifth at the 1996 Masters and a tied for fifth at the 2002 U.S. Open, showcasing his ability to contend on demanding major layouts. Over the course of his professional career, Hoch competed in numerous majors, making the cut in 48 appearances and achieving 15 top-10 finishes, including five top-5 results, which underscored his consistency despite never winning one. His major record highlighted proficiency in ball-striking but occasional lapses in short-game execution under intense pressure, most infamously the 1989 playoff miss that amplified perceptions of his putting woes in high-stakes situations.

International and other tour accomplishments

Hoch demonstrated his versatility beyond the by achieving notable success on international circuits during the 1980s and 1990s. On the European Tour, he claimed his only victory at the 1995 Heineken Dutch Open (also known as the ), where he finished at 15-under par 269 to edge out the competition at the Hilversumsche Golf Club in the . This win highlighted his precision and consistency on links-style courses, marking a significant milestone in his transatlantic play. In , Hoch excelled on the with three triumphs in the 1980s, beginning with back-to-back victories in 1982 at the Dunlop Open and the World Open, the latter secured with a final-round 70 for a one-stroke margin at 282 over the field at Ibusuki Golf Club. He added a third win at the 1986 World Open, solidifying his reputation as a strong performer on Japanese layouts known for their technical demands. Additionally, on the Korean Tour, Hoch captured consecutive titles at the Korea Open in 1990 and 1991, becoming one of the few international players to defend the crown successfully and inspiring local competitors with his dominant play. These Asian successes, totaling five wins, underscored his adaptability to diverse conditions and contributed to his global profile. Hoch's international endeavors also extended to elite invitational events like the , where he reached the quarterfinals of the 2000 WGC-Accenture Championship, defeating notable opponents before falling to 5-and-4. His strong form during this period propelled him to a career-high ranking of 11th in the on October 27, 1997, reflecting his competitive edge against the world's top players. These accomplishments outside the affirmed Hoch's status as a reliable international contender throughout his prime years.

Later PGA Tour years and challenges

Throughout the , Hoch maintained a high level of consistency on the , finishing in the top 40 on the money list every year except 1992, when he placed 41st, showcasing his sustained competitiveness into the decade's later stages. This reliability built on his earlier successes, allowing him to accumulate significant earnings and secure regular participation in elite events. His ball-striking prowess remained a strength, often positioning him for contention despite occasional fluctuations in performance. One of Hoch's notable late-career triumphs came in 2001 at the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic, where, at age 45, he carded a final-round 69 to finish at 16-under par 272, edging out challengers by a single stroke for his ninth PGA Tour victory and the first since 1997. Later that year, he added a tenth win at the Advil Western Open, setting a tournament record at 21-under par 269 after a clutch birdie putt on the 18th green to hold off Davis Love III. Hoch's final PGA Tour victory came in 2003 at the Ford Championship at Doral, where he defeated Jim Furyk in a playoff. During the sudden-death playoff, Hoch suspended play on the second extra hole due to darkness and uncertainty with his putting stroke but resumed the next morning and won on the third playoff hole with a 10-foot birdie putt, securing his 11th career title at age 47. These victories highlighted his enduring skill and mental resilience, making him one of the oldest multiple winners in a single season at that point. However, Hoch's later years were marked by significant challenges, including recurring injuries that hampered his play. A nagging wrist injury limited him to just four PGA Tour starts in 2003, and he suffered a sprained left wrist during the 2004 PGA Championship after falling off a tee box, further disrupting his schedule. Putting inconsistencies also plagued him amid mounting pressure. Additionally, his outspoken demeanor drew criticism from peers and media, with descriptions portraying him as a "cantankerous boor" for his blunt comments on course conditions, sportsmanship in team events, and Tour policies, though some viewed it as refreshing candor. By around 2006, following a major medical extension granted after wrist surgery in late 2005, Hoch transitioned away from full status, relying on limited exemptions and reduced starts as he approached eligibility for the senior circuit. This shift came after 27 years of primary Tour membership, during which he played in 644 events and amassed $23,504,182 in earnings.

Senior career

Entry into PGA Tour Champions

Scott Hoch joined the in 2006 upon turning 50 years old on November 24, 2005, becoming eligible for the senior circuit. His debut came in April 2006 at the age of 50, following recovery from wrist surgery that had limited his play on the regular the previous year. Hoch planned to split his schedule between the and Champions Tour, allowing for a gradual transition while leveraging his extensive experience from 11 PGA Tour victories and over $18 million in career earnings. In his first senior season, Hoch competed in a limited number of events as he adjusted to the Champions Tour's format, which emphasizes steady play among peers over 50 with less emphasis on raw distance compared to the younger field on the . Specific results from included no wins, with his performance reflecting an initial adaptation period before a stronger showing in subsequent years; he did not rank prominently on the money list that season, earning under the top earners like , who led with $2,420,227. This entry phase allowed Hoch to fine-tune his game, including short-game practice limited by his recovery, to the senior level's demands. Hoch carried over his reputation for sportsmanship from the , where he had received the Award in 1986 for exemplary conduct and low scoring average of 70.08, into his senior career, contributing to his respected standing on the Tour.

Key senior wins and records

Scott Hoch secured four victories on the , beginning with his debut win at the 2007 FedEx Kinko's Classic in , , where he finished at 13-under par to claim a one-stroke victory over . In 2008, he added two more triumphs: the Allianz Championship in Miami, defeating by three strokes, and the ACE Group Classic in , winning in a playoff over Brad Bryant, Tom Jenkins, and . His fourth senior win came over a decade later in 2019 at the Legends of Golf at Big Cedar Lodge, a team event where Hoch, paired with Tom Pernice Jr., won by nine strokes over the duo of Jeff Sluman and . The 2019 victory marked a significant milestone, as Hoch, then 63 years and five months old, became the oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history at the time, surpassing the previous record held by Mike Fetchick. This record was later surpassed by Bernhard Langer in 2021, who won at age 64 during the Dominion Energy Charity Classic. Throughout his senior career, spanning 187 events since joining in 2006, Hoch demonstrated consistent performance with 16 top-5 finishes and 34 top-10 results, including three runner-up and three third-place showings. His success translated to substantial earnings, totaling $4,974,026 on the tour.

Notable major moments

One of the most defining moments in Scott Hoch's major championship career occurred during the , where he came agonizingly close to victory. After tying at 5-under par following a final-round 69, Hoch entered a sudden-death playoff. On the first extra hole, the par-4 10th, Hoch reached the green in regulation and lined up a birdie putt from approximately 2 feet 6 inches, which would have secured his first major title and the green jacket. Under immense pressure, he pulled the putt left, missing the hole entirely and failing to even graze the cup, allowing Faldo to par and force a second playoff hole. Faldo then birdied the 11th to win, while Hoch's miss became one of the most infamous in Masters history, often replayed and analyzed for its brevity and heartbreak. The aftermath of the miss reverberated through Hoch's career, amplifying existing perceptions of him as prone to faltering in high-stakes situations. Media outlets, including , highlighted the incident with pointed commentary, such as "Hoch rhymes with choke," reviving earlier criticisms of his clutch performance after incidents like a final-round collapse at the 1987 . Hoch himself later admitted the error haunted him, describing recurring nightmares of the putt and acknowledging that the weight of the moment had overwhelmed him , leading to a period of self-doubt and intense scrutiny. Despite the setback, he channeled the experience into resilience, winning the Colonial National Invitation just three weeks later—his first victory in nearly three years—and using sports psychology techniques to rebuild confidence, which helped sustain his competitive longevity. Hoch demonstrated strong contention in other majors, notably the 1987 at PGA National Golf Club. Entering the final round among the leaders in sweltering heat, he shot a 69 but faltered on the par-5 18th, where a birdie from 8-10 feet would have tied for the lead and forced a playoff. Instead, he three-putted for bogey—running his first putt well past and missing the comebacker—finishing at even par for a tie for third, one stroke shy of the playoff between winner and . This near-miss underscored his ability to compete at the elite level but reinforced narratives of critical lapses under pressure. Similarly, at the 1993 U.S. Open at , Hoch surged into early contention with an opening-round 66, tying for the lead and positioning himself as a serious threat in firm, fast conditions that favored precise ball-striking. He maintained a solid position through the middle rounds with scores of 72 and 72, but a final-round 68 left him at 278 (-2), tying for fifth, six strokes behind winner Lee Janzen's 272 (-8). This performance highlighted Hoch's technical prowess in major setups but fell short of breaking through for a top finish. In later years, Hoch voiced pointed criticisms of conditions at , often citing the event's unpredictable weather, firm turf, and reliance on luck as detracting from skill-based play. He described courses like as a "worst mess I've ever played" due to pot bunkers and wind-whipped rough, and in 1996, labeled British golf "crazy" for its freakish elements that made transatlantic travel feel wasteful. These outspoken views, including reluctance to participate without sponsor pressure in 1998, reflected a broader frustration that impacted his enthusiasm for the major, though he still competed selectively into his senior career. The cumulative emotional toll of these near-misses contributed to a as an underachiever in majors despite 23 professional wins, yet Hoch credited them with fostering that extended his playing tenure.
