VILLAGE OF PINEHURST, N.C. (May 28, 2017) – Ohio State University teammates Clark Engle and Will Grimmer carded a 6-under-par 64 on Pinehurst Resort & Country’s Club’s Course No. 2 on Sunday to earn medalist honors by one stroke in the 2017 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship.

The duo posted a 36-hole stroke-play total of 12-under 129, which included Saturday’s 6-under 65 on Course No. 8. The par-70, 7,161-yard Course No. 2, which has hosted three U.S. Opens, and par-71, 7,073-yard Course No. 8 were both used during stroke play.

Grimmer, a rising junior, and Engle, who just completed his college eligibility, bested 18-hole leaders  Davis Shore and Wilson Furr. Both sides easily qualified for match play, which begins Monday at 9 a.m. on Course No. 2. An 8-for-6 playoff for those tied at 1-under 140 will commence Monday at 7 a.m. to determine the final match-play berths in the 32-side draw.

The U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship consists of 36 holes of stroke play, with the low 32 sides advancing to match play. The championship is scheduled to conclude with an 18-hole final Wednesday afternoon. It is one of 13 national championships conducted annually by the United States Golf Association, 10 of which are strictly for amateurs.

Clark Collier of Dallas and Kyle Hudelson of Oklahoma City advanced with scores of 65-72 on Pinehurst No. 2 and No. 8, respectively. Tyler Carson of Jenks and Austin Hannah of Jenks shot 69 on No. 8 and 70 on No. 2 for a 139 total and also moved into match play.

Stroke play results and match play pairings are below.
