OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. — Neither semifinal match at the U.S. Amateur went the distance or produced much drama Saturday morning, and now the final is set.
Bryson DeChambeau closed out Sean Crocker, the controversial USC sophomore, 4 and 3, to advance to the U.S. Amateur final for the first time. DeChambeau will face Virginia's Derek Bard, a 3-and-2 winner over Japan's Kenta Konishi.
Derek Bard sinks his putt to win his match against Jon Rahm during the quarterfinals at the U.S. Amateur at Olympia Fields (Ill.) Country Club.
The 21-year-old NCAA individual champion never had much trouble with Crocker on a warm and calm morning at Olympia Fields' North Course.
