It has been a busy two weeks for Nathan Barbieri, who is among the eight men left at the New South Wales Amateur.
Among the most notable names is Australian Nathan Barbieri, who is just a few days removed from his run to the championship match at the Australian Amateur in Melbourne. Barbieri ultimately lost that tournament to Irishman Conor Purcell, but he starting another run this week.
At Terrey Hills, Barbieri got through England’s Matty Lamb in the morning session, 1 up, before defeating another Englishman, Callan Barrow, by a 2-and-1 margin late in the afternoon. Interestingly, Barbieri had Fox TV personality and former NRL star Braith Anasta on his bag.
Barbieri will face Gun Queenslander Jed Morgan in the quarterfinals and was prepared for that challenge.
“Keep doing the same thing, play smart off the tee and give myself as many chances as I can,” he said.
For the first time in several tries, New South Wales team captain James Grierson is not only into match play, but is one of the final players remaining.
“This tournament has been a monkey on my back. It’s nice to take it off,” Grierson said after defeating Josh Greer, 2 and 1.
Grierson will play Canadian Josh Whalen in the next round.
Another Canadian, Joey Savoie, will face Benjamin Jones at the top of the bracket. Australian Lucas Higgins and Indian Kartik Sharma will face off below them.
