PINEHURST, N.C. – Order has been restored at the 119th U.S. Amateur.
Gone is the high school junior who wasn’t even listed in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
Sent packing is the little-known Sam Houston State player who was so thrilled to make it this far that, after being ousted Saturday night, he and his family grabbed a few clubs and a bag of beers and headed out to Pinehurst’s par-3 course.
No, the only ones left here are two seniors who have loads of match-play experience and are bona fide top-15 college players.
