1923 Amateur Championship

Deal holds the Amateur Championship for the first time, which is won by Roger Wethered, who beats Robert Harris 7&6 in the final. In his semi-final Wethered beat Francis Ouimet, winner of the 1913 US Open.

There are many who believe that the Wethered-Ouimet match, watched by 3,000 spectators,  was the greatest match ever played at Deal.
