Texas sophomore Travis Vick outlasts his peers to take medalist honors at historic Pinehurst event
“I didn’t make a bogey for 35 holes,” Vick told Pinehurst, “and then I messed up 18.”
The bogey on the 18th hole at Pinehurst No. 2 gave the rising Longhorn sophomore a little taste of what’s to come over what he hopes is the next three days.
“Now it’s just face the next guy,” Vick said. “Everybody out here who has played a lot of match play knows anybody can get hot, that anybody can play well for 18 holes.”

As for the ‘next guy’, Vick is set to face off against Florida signee Tyler Wilkes. Wilkes was an AJGA standout with a win at Saddlebrook last May, a runner-up finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational Junior, and a T-3 finish at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley in March.
Making room next to his 2016 U.S. Junior Amateur medal, Vick looks to become the first player to win both medalist honors and the match play championship since 2012 when Peter Williamson took home both pieces of hardware.
