Farmington • Jayce Frampton made 10 birdies in the second round of the stroke-play portion of the 120th State Amateur. Three pars and one conceded birdie to begin the back nine were good enough for him to take command of his match in Thursday’s round of 16 at Oakridge Country Club.
Frampton advanced to Friday morning’s quarterfinals with a 3-and-2 victory over Aaron Yeates, who had eliminated defending champion Kelton Hirsch of BYU earlier Thursday. Frampton, now a Dixie State University golfer, was Hirsch’s teammate for two years at Viewmont High School. So the potential exists for another ex-Viking victory at a venue that’s not too far from the school in Centerville.
