Amateur win earns Carter a shot at Greenbrier Classic

Posted: Updated:

Thursday, Pat Carter of Huntington made a little history when he won his 13th West Virginia Amateur.

Only Bill Campbell has more with 15.

It's great to win the Amateur: you get the trophy, you get the attention, but the cherry on top? you get an invite to the 2013 Greenbrier Classic.

As experienced as Carter is, it's still a thrill to play with the PGA pros.

"Well, fortunately I tried to keep that out of my mind cause I don't think I would have been nearly as calm as I was as If I'd been thinking about it," said Carter, "So it is a treat for us to be able to play in the Greenbrier Classic you know being the champion of this tournament."
