Sun Devil three-time All-American Josele Ballester has advanced to the U.S. Amateur semifinals on Saturday. The 124th U.S. Amateur Week started Monday in Minnesota at Hazeltine National Golf Club – and stroke-play co-host Chaska Town Course -- as hosts for the annual championship.
The field played one round at Hazeltine and Chaska Town Course after which it was trimmed to 64 for match play, which runs Wednesday through Sunday's 36-hole championship match. The champion and runner-up both will receive exemptions into the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club as well as likely invitations to the Masters Tournament in April.
