Sun Devil two-time honorable mention All-American Josele Ballester never let an early lead get too far away at the European Amateur Championship in Estonia over the weekend to earn an invitation to The 151st Open. The junior-to-be shot 10-under 62 in round one and never looked back.
THE CLOSER
Ballester opened the final round with an eagle and opened up a four-shot lead quickly over those closest to him, including Sun Devil teammate Michael Mjaaseth (Norway). Windy conditions didn't allow him to run away from the field, but a birdie on the 13th put him back at a four-stroke lead.
