FSU's Ellis wins British Amateur in 38 holes

It took 38 holes, but Florida State's Harry Ellis won the British Amateur Saturday at Royal St. George's with a dramatic comeback against Australia's Dylan Perry.

Ellis, 21, earned a spot in the Open at Royal Birkdale and next year's U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. He will also likely receive an invitation to the Masters.

“It’s unbelievable," Ellis said. "I can’t believe what I have just done, but you should never give up and never give in. I just kept giving myself chances down the stretch, and luckily played much better than I had all day and somehow it was good enough that we had to go to the 38th hole.
