Kenta Konishi grinds out win for U.S. Amateur semifinals berth

Scores

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.

  • 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.

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.
