For the Virginia junior who needed a couple comeback victories, the entire experience has been unreal.
He's already knocked off the top-ranked amateur golfer in the world, and today, Virginia junior Derek Bard has a chance to win the U.S. Amateur, but only if he can take down the reigning NCAA champion.
Bard used four straight come-from-behind victories to reach the semifinals against Japan's Kenta Konishi, who was trying to become the first Japanese golfer to ever win the event. That includes a big back-nine rally for a 1-up victory over Arizona State senior Jon Rahm, who had a big 3-up lead after the 10th hole.
