Bolton, the stroke-play medalist, will now face Lewis Hinton for a spot in the "sweet 16."
There are some intriguing matches on tap for Friday as the championship continues. Chief among them, St Andrews Links Trophy winner Jake Burnage faces Matty Lamb, his nearest challenger at the Home of Golf, and fellow English international Tom Sloman will come face-to-face with Alex Fitzpatrick, a Wake Forest player from Hallamshire.
Other big names who remain in the mix include Lytham Trophy winner Josh McMahon, Harry Goddard, Callum Farr, Ben Hutchinson and reigning British Boys’ champion Conor Gough. The 16-year-old from now plays Jamie Li in the next round with the winner coming up against either McMahon or Jordan Boulton in the afternoon.
Arguably the biggest surprise in the second round was Tom Plumb’s 3-and-2 defeat at the hands of George Saunders. As for Saunders, his reward is a third-round match against Bradley Bawden.
