EL PASO – UTEP men’s golfer Greg Yellin is set to compete at the 118th U.S. Amateur Championship at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill Golf Course starting Monday.
Since qualifying on July 10 to this year’s U.S. Amateur, Yellin has competed in a pair of events leading up to the event. Yellin played at the Pacific Coast Amateur Championship in San Francisco July 24-27 and the Sun Country Amateur Golf Association Challenge Cup on Aug. 6 at Red Hawk Golf Club in Las Cruces.
“During my last two events I’ve competed in, I’ve been working on driving the ball well, since it’s a long course at Pebble Beach,” Yellin said.
