In the other semifinal teeing off at 8:10 a.m. 11-seed Matthew Mclaughlin and two-seed Andy Johnson will duke it out. Johnson forged into the finals by beating Matt Shipley in 19 holes.

MEDALIST/ROUND OF 16 RESULTS
Playing at the historic Lake Shore Country Club, Andy Johnson of Chicago and Matthew Minder of Springfield each fired 1-under 70, earning co-medalist honors in the second annual Chicago District G.A. Mid-Amateur.
Each player worked around three bogeys by carding four birdies to post the only red numbers in the field. The final seven spots in match play were determined by a playoff after nine players shot 5-over 74s. Unfortunately, Brad Metzger and Daniel Moore both double-bogeyed the first playoff hole to be eliminated.
Both medalists advanced to the quarter finals. Minder defeated John Wright, 4-and-2. Andy Johnson had a tougher battle on his hands against John Finnin of Mokena. The Olympia Fields CC member took the co-medalist to the final hole before being defeated, 1-up.
Play continues Tuesday.
