HARRISBURG Penn State golfer Cole Miller — who competed earlier this summer in the British Amateur — will take part in next month’s U.S. Amateur Championship after winning a recent qualifier.
He won the USGA Amateur Qualifier at the Colonial Golf and Tennis Club in Harrisburg by eight strokes last week with a two-round total of 131 (66-65).
“My expectations changed after this spring, and I felt like I needed to qualify,” Miller said in a written statement. “My mentality after the first round was to just keep plugging away. It was going to get tougher in the afternoon with the wind, but I just kept working on it, I actually hit the ball better and had a better second round.
