OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. – Kenta Konishi's last three matches at the 115th U.S. Amateur have gone the distance. He's the outsider that won't fall away.
As he stood over a 4-foot par putt on the 18th green at the Olympia Fields North Course to seal his quarterfinal match against Matthew Perrine on Friday afternoon, Konishi could not have seemed more serene.
