OAKMONT, Pa. — University of Colorado sophomore Adam Matteson finished his suspended second round early Wednesday, but unfortunately finished outside the top 64 in the stroke play qualifying portion needed to advance into match play in the 121st U.S. Amateur.
On Tuesday, play was suspended for almost four hours due to dangerous weather in the area (and also reared its ugly head again Wednesday, delaying the start of the 32 match play pairings). Matteson finished five holes in his second round at even par at Oakmont Country Club before play was suspended due to darkness, and then came back Wednesday and played the last 13 holes at 4-over for a 74 score; combined with his opening 2-over 72 on the Longue Vue Club in nearby Verona, he wound up tying for 118th in the 312-man field with a 6-over 146 score.
