John Stewart Hagestad III (born April 10, 1991) is an American amateur golfer.

Golf career

Hagestad played his college golf for the USC Trojans.[2]

Hagestad won the 2016 U.S. Mid-Amateur at Stonewall, in Elverson, Pennsylvania, earning a spot at the 2017 Masters Tournament.[3] He became the first U.S. Mid-Amateur champion qualifier to make the cut at the Masters (Jay Sigel was 1987 Mid-Amateur champion and made the cut at the 1988 Masters Tournament, but at the time the Mid-Amateur champion did not receive an invite and Sigel qualified by playing for the United States in the Walker Cup).[4][5] Hagestad finished in a tie for 36th place, and won the Silver Cup as the lowest-scoring amateur. Despite his performance, he stated that he has no desire to turn professional.[6]

Hagestad also won the 2016 Metropolitan Amateur.[7] He competed in the U.S. Open in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022.[8][9]

Hagestad teamed with Emilia Migliaccio, Brandon Wu, and Rose Zhang to win the mixed team gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games.[10] He finished 13th in the men's individual competition.

Hagestad claimed a second U.S. Mid-Amateur title in 2021 and a third in 2023.[11]
