CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson junior Oscar Bredkjaer will compete for team Denmark in the 2025 World Amateur Team Championship at Tanah Merah Country Club in Singapore, October 8-11. He will be part of the team from Denmark that will be one of 36 three-man teams in the 34th biennial event.
The 72-hole tournament will be contested over four days. Each round the two best scores registered will be the team total score for that round.
Bredkjaer has been one of Clemson’s top golfer this year with a 70.89 stroke average. His 65 at the Myrtle Beach Trips Intercollegiate is his low round so far this year and second best by any Clemson golfer. He recently helped Clemson to a third-place finish out of 15 teams at the Bryan Brothers Collegiate in West Columbia, S.C. when he finished seventh with a score of seven-under-par 206.
Bredkjaer is in his first year at Clemson after transferring from the University of San Francisco. He had three top 10 finishes last year for the Dons and was a second-team All West Coast Conference selection. Over the last two years he has seven consecutive top 20 finishes.
The World Amateur Team Championship is run by the International Golf Federation. The event has included some of the great players currently on the PGA Tour. The list of alumni incudes seven golfers who competed in the recent Ryder Cup. That list includes Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Victor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg. Other former competitors include Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
Two former Clemson golfers have been on medal winning United States squads. D.J. Trahan, the national player of the year at Clemson in 2001-02 and leader of Clemson’s 2003 national championship team, was a member of the USA Championship team in 2002 along with future PGA professions Ricky Barnes and Hunter Mahan. Kevin Johnson, a two-time All-American at Clemson, was a member of the second place United States team at the 1988 World Team Amateur.
