December 6, 2004

Far Hills, N.J. - The United States Golf Association's 13 national championships will be highlighted in a 60-minute television special entitled 'A Celebration of Champions' to be broadcast on NBC from 1-2 p.m. (EST) on Sunday, Dec. 12.

Hosted by Jimmy Roberts from historic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., site of the 2004 U.S. Open, the special will feature the winners of the Open (Retief Goosen), U. S. Women's Open (Meg Mallon), U.S. Senior Open (Peter Jacobsen) and U.S. Amateur (Ryan Moore). Moore also claimed the U.S. Amateur Public Links title. There will also be highlights from the rest of the championship season, including the U.S. Junior Amateur, won by 15-year-old Sihwan Kim.

You'll also catch the magic of teenage sensations Paula Creamer and Michelle Wie, who helped the USA team to a win at the 2004 Curtis Cup Match in early June and then shared 13th place at the U.S. Women's Open a month later, earning exemptions into next year's Women's Open championship.
