C.R.Miller Memorial Match Play Invitational

The C.R. Miller Memorial Match Play Invitational was started in 1974 by Ritchie Miller of Fox Chapel Golf Club in honor of his father, Charles R. Miller. The conduct of the event was soon turned over to the Association where it has continued to be administered. Since its inception the event has always consisted of four rounds of match play with the 16 top-rated juniors from western Pennsylvania being invited to participate. Early versions of the invitational had the low 16 players from the Junior Championship being invited, and often there were hole-by-hole playoffs conducted at the end of the championship to finalize the field. Additionally, the four semi-finalists used to be selected to represent the Association in the Williamson Cup Matches.

Frank Fuhrer, III, won the first event and the list of champions resembles an honor roll of junior golf in western Pennsylvania; Arnold Cutrell (1981) , John Aber (1984), Brian Tutich (1993), Nathan Smith (1995), Justin Smith (1998-99), Mike VanSickle (2004) and William Miller (2005).
