| AUGUSTA, Missouri รข?? Gilman golfer Brad Miller has survived the stroke play portion of the 2007 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship and has qualified for the 64-player single elimination match play portion of the event and will begin play today, as the 36th seed, at Boone Valley Golf Club.
Miller is attempting to win the most prestigious amateur tournament sponsored by the United States Golf Association and join the ranks of the world’s #1 player Tiger Woods, who won the event three times before launching his professional career.
Miller, 17, will play Hyun Seok Lim of California in today’s opening round, teeing off at 12:21 pm. If victorious, Miller will need to win two matches in each of the next two days to reach Friday’s final.
After opening with a 75 in the first round, on Monday, Miller improved to shoot a 73 yesterday and finished +6. The event began with 156 golfers who had reached the field through a series of qualifying events held all over the country. Miller qualified by placing second at the Chevy Chase Club earlier this month.
Korea’s Seung Yui Noh, who posted a two round stroke play score of 136 (-6) is the top seed in the match play competition. |
