| Harris English at Erin Hills |
English, who had 5 birdies in an 8 hole stretch, won his match 3&1 vs Andrew Yun.
English almost put the match away on the par-3 16th when his 7-iron from 192 yards landed 10 feet in front of the hole and grazed the hole for a near ace. The two men halved with pars. But matters were settled on No. 17 when Yun, after pushing a drive into the right rough, came up short of the green and couldn’t get up and down. Yun’s lone bogey of the round sent English into the second round of the Amateur for the second time. Harris will play Bobby Leopold in round 2, match scheduled to start at 11:00 am.
Henley defeated Kevin Dougherty 3&1 to advance to the second round. Henley will play Patrick Cantlay, who is currently the top ranked amateur in the world, in the round of 32. That match is scheduled to begin at noon.
The Golf Channel will have coverage of the second round today from 1-3 pm. Live scoring can be followed at:
