Match-play quarterfinals set for British Amateur Championship

Carnoustie, Scotland — Get ready for a David versus Goliath battle in the fourth round of the Amateur Championship at Carnoustie.

Sean Towndrow faces Jack McDonald in a fourth round England versus Scotland battle that pits the 6-foot, 7-inch Towndrow versus the 5-foot, 7-inch McDonald.

Both have the experience of reaching the latter reaches of the world’s oldest national championship. Towndrow lost in the semi-finals of last year’s championship at Royal Portrush, while McDonald was a losing semifinalist at Royal Troon in 2013.

Both are battlers. Lesser competitors would be on their way home, but the two men staged tremendous comebacks to book their place in the fourth round.
