Nathaniel Crosby , 60, of Jupiter, Fla., is competing in his first USGA championship in 26 years. Crosby captained the last two USA Walker Cup teams to victories at Royal Liverpool in 2019 and Seminole in 2021. He won the 1981 U.S. Amateur at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, Calif., and a year later was the low amateur in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Crosby was a member of victorious USA teams in both the 1983 Walker Cup Match and the 1982 World Amateur Team Championship. He currently serves as chairman of a network of small travel societies that are tied to rank-worthy golf clubs in vacation and second-home destinations. Crosby is the son of the late legendary American singer and entertainer Bing Crosby, who played in the 1942 U.S. Amateur at Winged Foot Golf Club.
Jim Doing , 62, of Verona, Wis., is in his 25th year teaching voice at the University of Wisconsin. He has sung more 75 operatic roles in an international career where he has performed in several countries, including England, France, Germany, Italy and Qatar. His son, John, is the percussionist in the hit show Hamilton on a Broadway national tour. Jim is competing in his third USGA championship, having played in the 2008 U.S. Mid-Amateur and the 2021 U.S. Senior Amateur. In 2019, he was chosen Wisconsin State Golf Association Senior Amateur Player of the Year.
Gene Elliott , 60, of West Des Moines, Iowa, claimed his first USGA title by rallying to defeat Jerry Gunthorpe in the championship match of the 2021 U.S. Senior Amateur at the Country Club of Detroit. He has competed in 37 USGA championships, including eight U.S. Amateurs and 15 U.S. Mid-Amateurs, and has reached match play in all four of his U.S. Senior Amateurs starts. Elliott won the 2021 R&A Senior Amateur Championship and was inducted into the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame in 2012. The owner of a sanitation and street equipment company underwent successful open-heart surgery 22 years ago.
William Everett , 71, of Hebron, N.H., is the third-oldest competitor in the field. Everett began to play competitive golf when he retired at age 60 and has spent the last 11 years attempting to qualify for the U.S. Senior Amateur. He won a 3-for-1 playoff to earn his spot in the field on July 26 at Manchester (Vt.) Country Club. Everett won the 2017 New Hampshire Senior Amateur Match Play Championship.
Jerry Gunthorpe , 59, of Ovid, Mich., was the runner-up in last year’s U.S. Senior Amateur at the Country Club of Detroit. As a finalist, Gunthorpe earned an exemption into the 2022 U.S. Senior Open and 2022 U.S. Amateur where he competed earlier this month as the oldest player in the field. In March, Gunthorpe won the Golfweek Senior Division National Championship. His two sons, Nathan and Nick, have both qualified for USGA events.
Matthew Haefele , 72, of Bergen, N.Y., shot a 76 at Shelridge Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., to earn a spot in his first USGA championship. He says qualifying for the 67th U.S. Senior Amateur is the highlight of his golf career. Haefele, the oldest competitor in the field, won the 2009 New York State Senior Amateur Championship. He enlisted in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam war and played golf in Saigon during the conflict. He was a toolmaker/machine builder for 40 years and still works to restore antique boats.
