Junior Henry Chung claimed medalist honors at a U.S. Amateur qualifier held at the Sonoma Golf Club on Monday with a 6-under 36-hole score of 136 to earn a spot in the world's most prestigious amateur golf event which will be held August 15-20 at the Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
Chung's first round 66 included an eagle on the par-5 second hole and seven birdies, including three straight to close the round. His four birdies in the second round were enough to offset one double bogey and claim a one-stroke victory over Bryan Baumgarten of Granite Bay, who plays collegiately at Illinois.
