'''Scott Mabon Hoch''' ({{IPAc-en|'|h|oʊ|k}} {{Respell|HOHK}};<ref>{{Cite news |last=Yoon |first=Peter |date=1998-02-27 |title=Hoch's Words As Much the Story as His Round |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-feb-27-sp-23570-story.html |access-date=2025-06-09 |newspaper=Los Angeles Times}}</ref> born November 24, 1955) is an American [[professional golfer]], who represented his country in the [[Ryder Cup]] in 1997 and 2002.

==Early life==
Hoch was born in [[Raleigh, North Carolina]]. While attending [[Needham B. Broughton High School]], he won the 1973 [[North Carolina High School Athletic Association]] (NCHSAA) men's golf state championship.

== Amateur career ==
Hoch was a member of the [[Wake Forest Demon Deacons#Golf|golf team]] at [[Wake Forest University]] before graduating in 1978. In 1978, Hoch reached the final of the [[U.S. Amateur]], losing 5 & 4 to [[John Cook (golfer)|John Cook]].<ref name="cwtosh">{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=aLssAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LRMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1817%2C802620 |work=Wilmington Morning Star |location=(North Carolina) |agency=Associated Press |title=Cook wins title over Scott Hoch |date=September 4, 1978 |page=3C}}</ref> His good play earned him membership for top international team competitions like the [[1978 Eisenhower Trophy]] and the [[1979 Walker Cup]]. The Americans won both events. His achievements in 1978 led to an invitation to the [[1979 Masters Tournament]] where he tied for 34th place, the second low amateur only behind [[Bobby Clampett]].

==Professional career==
Hoch turned professional in 1979 after competing in the U.S. Amateur.

Hoch has won several tournaments, including the [[Western Open]], the [[Ford Championship at Doral]], the [[Heineken Dutch Open]] and the [[Bob Hope Chrysler Classic]]. He also won the [[Vardon Trophy]] for lowest scoring average in 1986. He has featured in the top 20 of the [[Official World Golf Ranking]].

Hoch is widely known for missing a two-foot-long putt that would have won the [[1989 Masters Tournament]] on the first playoff hole, which he lost to [[Nick Faldo]] on the next hole.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1728606_1728620_1728794,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080414203005/http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1728606_1728620_1728794,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 14, 2008 |title=Hoch the Choke, 1989 |author=Gregory, Sean |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |date=April 9, 2008}}</ref> At the [[1987 PGA Championship]], Hoch three-putted the 18th hole on Sunday from inside of ten feet. A two-putt would have secured a playoff spot for him.

Hoch is also well known for his infamous quote regarding playing in [[The Open Championship]] at the "home of golf" at [[Old Course at St Andrews|St Andrews]]. Hoch referred to this course, considered hallowed ground by most golfers around the world, as "the worst piece of mess" he had ever seen.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.golf.com/golf/tours_news/article/0,28136,1578443,00.html |title=Scott Hoch Speaks Candidly About Tiger, CBS and Frank Chirkinian |magazine=Golf Magazine |last=Morfit |first=Cameron |date=January 17, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110309014340/http://www.golf.com/golf/tours_news/article/0,28136,1578443,00.html |archive-date=March 9, 2011 }}</ref> Partly due to his Open Championship criticism Hoch has been characterized as an "ugly American." However he has played extensively abroad and done fairly well, with three victories on the [[Japan Golf Tour]], a victory at [[European Tour]]'s 1995 [[Dutch Open (golf)|Dutch Open]], and multiple victories on the [[Korean Tour]].<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.si.com/vault/2001/07/16/307533/hes-got-a-shot-scott-hoch-the-last-man-youd-expect-to-take-the-british-open-moved-into-the-ranks-of-the-contenders-with-his-western-win |title=He's Got a Shot Scott Hoch, the last man you'd expect to take the British Open, moved into the ranks of the contenders with his Western win |last=Shipnuck |first=Alan |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=July 16, 2001 |access-date=2019-04-22 |df=mdy-all}}</ref> He also has runner-up finishes at the 1987 [[Dunlop Phoenix Tournament]], 1994 [[Casio World Open]] on the Japan Golf Tour,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.owgr.com/en/Ranking/PlayerProfile.aspx?playerID=101&year=1994 |title=Scott Hoch – 1994 |publisher=Official World Golf Ranking}}</ref> 1995 [[New Zealand Open]] on the [[Australasian Tour]], and the 1996 Dutch Open.

Hoch is the rare American golfer who has criticized the [[Ryder Cup]]. Before his participation in the [[2002 Ryder Cup|2002 event]] he described the Ryder Cup as "overrated" and thought that the competition had gotten too "inflammatory."<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Scott-Hoch-Gets-Ryder-Cup-Attention-10523972.php |title=Scott Hoch Gets Ryder Cup Attention |last=Ferguson |first=Doug |date=2002-09-24 |newspaper=The Edwardsville Intelligencer |access-date=2019-05-11 |df=mdy-all}}</ref>

=== Senior career ===
In May 2007, Hoch won his first [[Champions Tour]] event, the [[FedEx Kinko's Classic]]. In February 2008, he won his second and third events in consecutive weeks.

In April 2019, Hoch won at the age of 63 the [[Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf]] with [[Tom Pernice Jr.]] This first win in 11 years made him the oldest winner on the Champions Tour.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/scott-hoch-63-becomes-oldest-senior-tour-winner-teams-with-tom-pernice-to-win-bass-pro-shops-legends-of-golf |title=Scott Hoch, 63, becomes oldest senior tour winner, teams with Tom Pernice to win Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf |last=Strege |first=John |magazine=Golf Digest |date=April 28, 2019 |access-date=2019-05-11 |df=mdy-all}}</ref> Hoch's record held until October 2021, when [[Bernhard Langer]] broke it at the [[Dominion Energy Charity Classic]].

== Personal life ==
In 1982, Hoch said that he feared he was going to die after an intruder came into his hotel room in [[Tucson, Arizona]], held him and his wife, Sally, at gunpoint, and tied them up for an hour.<ref name="choke">{{cite magazine |last=Reilly |first=Rick |author-link=Rick Reilly |date=June 12, 1989 |title=Hoch As...in Choke |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1068485/index.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130131050424/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1068485/index.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 31, 2013 |magazine=Sports Illustrated |access-date=September 17, 2012}}</ref>

In 1989, Hoch said that he was "really hurt" after being named "Least Popular Golfer" in a poll of Tour players conducted by the ''[[Dallas Times Herald]]''.<ref name="choke" />
