U.S. Amateur playoff: 15 players, 11 advance, 1 hole, 1 birdie and 1 chunk

PARAMUS, N.J. – The 15-man playoff Wednesday morning at the U.S. Amateur lasted just one hole, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t eventful.

There were exactly four bogeys on the par-3 15th hole at The Ridgewood Country Club, which allowed 11 players to advance to match play with par or better.

There was one birdie, a 12-foot putt canned by UNC-Wilmington junior Walker Isley, who is playing in his first USGA championship.

There was even a chunk.

Stanford standout Karl Vilips was second to play in the first group out at 7:30 a.
