Far Hills, N.J. - The United States Golf Association's 13 national championships will be highlighted in a 60-minute television special entitled 'The USGA Year in Review' to be broadcast on NBC from 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Dec. 13. The show will also be aired on ESPN from 3-4 p.m. on Jan. 7.

In addition, U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk chats about his first major victory; Hilary Lunke recaps her dramatic Women's Open title in a playoff at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Ore.; Bruce Lietzke remembers his battle with Tom Watson at the U.S. Senior Open at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio; and U.S. Amateur champion Nick Flanagan recounts his gritty win at treacherous Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh.
