My questions are, at what point should you lose you amateur status, and can you lose your amateur status in pool? In many sports, once you cash in a tournament, you can no longer be an amateur. After Brian Parks won his 2nd US Amateur Title I figured he would no longer be allowed to compete as an Amateur. Now, after winning his 5th US Amateur Title, I feel it overwhelmingly cheapens the victory; especially given the fact he has played in, and won, open tournaments. In fact, he even is sponsored by OB.
I am not knocking Brian; as his play is solid and I have read he is a great guy. I would think this of anyone in that position. It just seems weird to me. Any thoughts?
