BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan sophomore Nick Carlson won two matches on the 19th hole Thursday at Oakland Hills to advance to the U.S. Amateur quarterfinals.
Carlson, from Hamilton, Michigan, beat British Amateur champion Scott Gregory of England in the morning round of 32, and topped Thailand's KK Limbhasut in the afternoon round of 16.
''It was unreal,'' Carlson said. ''I can't even describe it. There were so many people on this last hole. I was feeding off them on 18. ... I didn't really realize how amazing it was to have this big of a crowd until that last putt went in.
