Both men prevailed in close semifinal matches on Saturday afternoon. Abney, from Madison, Miss., took down Lance Yates, 3 and 1. On the lower bracket, meanwhile, Miller, of Jackson, Miss., needed 19 holes to defeat Charlie Flynn.

Abney has advanced from the No. 4 spot on the 32-man bracket. All of his matches have been relatively close but for his second-round match against Dustin Hasley. Abney won, 7 and 5.

Miller earned the No. 15 seed at the start of the week. He immediately took out No. 18 seed Kyle Robinson, 5 and 4, and worked his way through the bracket from there.
