With Will Wilcox on his bag, Ben Carr reaches U.S. Amateur semifinals

PARAMUS, N.J. — Sometimes things work out perfectly.

Ben Carr defeated Nick Price, the 1,212th-ranked amateur in the world, to advance to the U.S. Amateur Championship semifinals with former PGA Tour player Will Wilcox on his bag.

Wilcox hasn't made a Tour start since 2017. Earlier this year, the 36-year-old opened up about his struggles with drug abuse. He played the Korn Ferry Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am in June but missed the cut. However, Wilcox told GolfChannel.com Friday that he isn't planning a comeback campaign. After 30 years of competition, he's planning on doing "other golf stuff" and running a water mitigation business with his friend in Atlanta.
