Jordan Niebrugge (born August 4, 1993) is an American amateur golfer currently playing collegiate golf at Oklahoma State University.[1]

Niebrugge was born just outside St. Louis in Bridgeton, Missouri. At a young age, parents Rod and Judy Niebrugge moved Jordan and his older sister Alyssa to Mequon, Wisconsin.[1]

In the summer of 2013, Niebrugge won the Wisconsin Match Play Championship,[2] then produced an amateur winning streak that consisted of victories at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship,[3] Wisconsin State Amateur,[4] and Western Amateur.[5] Previous victories at the Wisconsin State Open and the WIAA High School Championship places Niebrugge and PGA Tour golfer Mark Wilson as the only golfers to win all four events of the "Wisconsin Slam".[6]

Niebrugge was selected to play for the USA 2013 Walker Cup team where he posted wins in both singles matches. Shortly after the 2013 Walker Cup, he was also chosen to represent USA in the 2013 Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship. Along with teammate Scottie Scheffler, the two combined to win the Men's competition for Team USA as well as the Overall Combined Team competition. He also tied for the overall individual lead.[7]

For his 2013 accomplishments, Niebrugge was named to the 2013 Global Golf Post All-Amateur 1st Team [8] and was an honorable mention Collegiate All-American in 2013 for his play at Oklahoma State.[1]

With his win at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship, Niebrugge received an invitation to compete at the 2014 Masters Tournament in April 2014, where he played the first two rounds at +11 and missed the cut.[9]

In 2015, Jordan finished tied for medalist honors at the Hillside qualifier[10] which resulted in an invitation to the 2015 Open Championship at St Andrews, where he went on to win the silver medal for being low amateur and tied for 6th overall.[11] Completing the tournament at 11-under-par with an overall 277 also earned him the lowest score by an amateur in the history of The Open Championship.[12]
