Benjamin Gordon "Bubba" Dickerson (born May 6, 1981) is an American

U.S. Amateur

.

Dickerson was born in

All-American in 2001.^[2]

In the U.S. Amateur that fall, Dickerson made the finals against Robert Hamilton. In the 36-hole final match, Dickerson was down five holes through fourteen played but won the last four holes of the morning round to pull within one. The afternoon round was very close, and Dickerson won the final two holes to go from one down to a one-up victory.

The winner of the U.S. Amateur gains entry into the following year's Masters, U.S. Open, and British Open, so long as he remains an amateur. Dickerson played in the Masters, but after the tournament, he decided to leave school and turn professional, giving up the chance to play in the other two majors.

Dickerson played on the European

Chitimacha Louisiana Open in 2009 on the Nationwide Tour with a one hole playoff victory over Brian Vranesh

.

The nickname "Bubba" came from his older brother Robert, who could not pronounce the word "brother" as a young child.
