There were three co-medalists at Chambersburg (Pa.) Country Club with 9-under totals: Ben Smith (transferring to Mount St. Mary's from Penn State), his good friend Patrick Sheehan (Penn State), and Michael Crowley (Loyola University).
“I was sitting there early in the second round and kind of just felt like I was out of it. I had 57 yards in on No. 8 and just flipped a wedge in and holed it. Even then, I didn’t really feel like I was in the mix yet,” said Sheehan. But four birdies in a row from 11-14 got him believing. It wasn’t until those four birdies that got me thinking like, “‘I could do this’.”

Ben Feld, Drexel University’s Head Golf Coach, has been waiting his entire amateur golf career to play in a USGA national championship. He’s been an alternate multiple times. He’s caddied in three U.S. Opens and two U.S. Amateurs.
But he'll be playing in the U.S. Amateur at Ridgewood after rounds of 71-64 (-5) gave him medalist honors at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa.
“Honestly, it was starting to become a little bit of a thing. I started thinking, ‘Am I ever going to make one of these?’,” said Feld, 31, of Philadelphia, Pa. “I’ve been knocking on the door. I’ve been on the grounds for 12 or so [USGA championships]. So, this one today… it feels a little extra special.”

Alex Scott (Henderson, Nev.) almost missed the U.S. Amateur qualifier at Boulder Creek GC in Boulder City, Nevada.
“I had a tweaked muscle in my right arm and didn’t think I would be able to play,” he said to Bill Bowman of LasVegasGolfInsider.com. “But I decided to give it a shot and it all worked out.”
Worked out it did, with Scott shooting 11 under to earn medalist honors by one shot over Yuki Moriyama of Las Vegas. Scott, who works from home for Barclays, has found the motivation to dedicate himself to competitive golf this year.
“All of this makes me realize how much work you need to do to compete,” he said. “I wake up at 5 (a.m.) and go to Boulder City Muni and work on my game from 110 yards and in,” he said. “That’s where the money is made.”

2017 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Matt Parziale medaled by three shots at Winchester C.C. in Massachusetts, using a five-consecutive birdie run during the back nine of his second round to punch his ticket to Ridgewood.
Parziale putted it off the green on the final hole of his morning round, but rebounded with a 66 in the afternoon to post a 36-hole total of 140.
"I was pretty frustrated," Parziale told Mass Golf. "Nothing went my way in the morning and then I putt it off the green on 18. All the way down and thank God I hit a chip from 40 yards to two inches. If I don’t hit that chip there and I make double I think that’s a whole different mindset going into the afternoon. So that’s probably the shot that was most key part of the day was to just escape there with the bogey.”
It will be the Brockton, Mass. native's fifth trip to the U.S. Amateur.

Jared Nelson (Rutland, Vt., University of Connecticut) shot rounds of 66-67 (-9) to beat the field by four shots at Connecticut National Golf Club in Putnam, Connecticut. Nelson, who won the Hornblower Memorial earlier this month, was on the offensive all day.
“I didn’t really do anything that special,” said Nelson to the CSGA. “I played solid all day drove it well and hit a lot of greens to give myself a lot of looks at birdie.”
Taking the other qualifying spot was a veteran of many USGA championships, Bobby Leopold, who advanced in spectacular fashion by escaping a tough lie in a fairway bunker, then holing a chip for eagle to advance from a playoff.
“The U.S. Amateur is the pinnacle of all amateur events in the world so qualifying for the U.S. Amateur is really special,” said Leopold. “I’ve come close so many times [to qualifying in recent years] so it felt like it was my time to make it happen.”

Ben Feld, Drexel University’s Head Golf Coach, has been waiting his entire amateur golf career to play in a USGA national championship. He’s been an alternate multiple times. He’s caddied in three U.S. Opens and two U.S. Amateurs.
But he'll be playing in the U.S. Amateur at Ridgewood after rounds of 71-64 (-5) gave him medalist honors at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa.
“Honestly, it was starting to become a little bit of a thing. I started thinking, ‘Am I ever going to make one of these?’,” said Feld, 31, of Philadelphia, Pa. “I’ve been knocking on the door. I’ve been on the grounds for 12 or so [USGA championships]. So, this one today… it feels a little extra special.”

Worked out it did, with Scott shooting 11 under to earn medalist honors by one shot over Yuki Moriyama of Las Vegas. Scott, who works from home for Barclays, has found the motivation to dedicate himself to competitive golf this year.
“All of this makes me realize how much work you need to do to compete,” he said. “I wake up at 5 (a.m.) and go to Boulder City Muni and work on my game from 110 yards and in,” he said. “That’s where the money is made.”

Pikulthong and Goyen posted the field's best round two scores to finish -10 and -9, respectively. Lewis made birdie on a playoff hole to earn the third and final qualifying spot.
“I struck it really well and drove it really well,” Pikulthong said to Brandon Genson of the Arizona Golf Association. “I hit a lot of fairways, which is pretty clear out here because you don’t want to go into those bushes and desert.

Parziale putted it off the green on the final hole of his morning round, but rebounded with a 66 in the afternoon to post a 36-hole total of 140.
"I was pretty frustrated," Parziale told Mass Golf. "Nothing went my way in the morning and then I putt it off the green on 18. All the way down and thank God I hit a chip from 40 yards to two inches. If I don’t hit that chip there and I make double I think that’s a whole different mindset going into the afternoon.
