Mike Pyne and Ben Grant started 2 under through four and were red-hot. And then Mother Nature cooled them down for a day. But that didn’t bother them.
Torrential caused U.S. Four-Ball Qualifying at Point Judith Country Club in Rhode Island to be postponed by a day. But Pyne and Grant, aided by steadfast consistency and a friendship of more than 20 years, claimed medalist honors with a score of 4-under 67 despite not thinking that their score would be good enough.
“I drove home,” said Grant. “I didn’t think we had a chance. We have shot 5 under in these before and got lapped. I was happy to drive back here.”
“Playing in the U.S. Four-Ball for the first time is a big deal,” said Pyne. “There are so many good players so making match play would be a dream. We are going to enjoy it.”

The folks at the USGA won’t need name tags when former U.S. Mid-Amateur champ Matt Parziale and Herbie Aikens roll into town in 2023. Thursday marked the 5th time in the event’s 8-year history that the Massachusetts tandem has qualified for the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship.
“The excitement level is as high as it gets.” said Matt Parziale, who made six of the team’s birdies. “These are long, hard days, so advancing makes it feel that much better.”
‘Long day’ doesn’t begin to do it justice for Parziale and Aikens. They hit their opening tee shots at 8:18 a.m. and sank their final putt, in a playoff at 7:38 p.m.
Waiting out the entirety of the afternoon wave is a difficult task, especially when it comes on the heels of a missed putt.
Talking about the final hole of regulation, Aikens said “I missed a pretty short putt on 18 that I should have made. It would have made the waiting process a lot easier. So I had to sit there, think about it, and dwell on it for six hours.”
After that six hour wait, the two found themselves in a four-team playoff for three spots. And they were quickly greeted with another bit of misfortune. Parziale’s tee shot on the first playoff hole came to rest in a divot, and forced him to play conservatively to the middle of the green, eliminating the thought of birdie.
That put the pressure directly on the shoulders of Aikens. And he was ready for the challenge. Aikens’ approach shot came to rest 20-feet away from the hole. And after Parziale secured a par, it set the stage for the biggest putt of the day. Aikens redeemed himself with the clinching putt, and another coveted trip to a USGA Championship.
“It was great.” said Aikens. “After dwelling on it (the missed putt) for six hours, it felt really good.”
Two other teams advanced out of the same 4-for-3 playoff. With darkness setting, and headlights from golf carts lighting the green, the day finally ended as Mike Dunham and Jackson Kingman parred a 97-yard hole to take the last spot and earn their first trip to the championship.
Qualifiers: Herbie Aikens (Kingston, Mass.) & Matt Parziale (Brockton, Mass.) 66, John Hayes (Portland, Maine) & Reese McFarlane (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) 66, Michael Dunham (Concord, Mass.) & Jackson Kingman (Concord, Mass.) 66 >> Results

“This means a lot. I’ve been an alternate many, many times and have never gotten in,” Conzemius said Monday. “To [qualify] in the four-ball with my brother-in-law is emotional and I’m super excited. A USGA event has been a goal of mine for a long time.”
John Butler and Joel B. Johnson shot an 8-under 64 and survived a three-way playoff to claim the second qualifying spot.
“This is my first time [qualifying], so it’s pretty emotional,” said Butler, who nearly lost his life in a car accident last summer. “I almost gave up golf and I’ve been battling back. My game isn’t there yet, but luckily Joel bailed me out. Awesome to do it with a good friend like Joel.”

Torrential caused U.S. Four-Ball Qualifying at Point Judith Country Club in Rhode Island to be postponed by a day. But Pyne and Grant, aided by steadfast consistency and a friendship of more than 20 years, claimed medalist honors with a score of 4-under 67 despite not thinking that their score would be good enough.
“I drove home,” said Grant. “I didn’t think we had a chance. We have shot 5 under in these before and got lapped. I was happy to drive back here.”
“Playing in the U.S. Four-Ball for the first time is a big deal,” said Pyne. “There are so many good players so making match play would be a dream. We are going to enjoy it.”

“The excitement level is as high as it gets.” said Matt Parziale, who made six of the team’s birdies. “These are long, hard days, so advancing makes it feel that much better.”
‘Long day’ doesn’t begin to do it justice for Parziale and Aikens. They hit their opening tee shots at 8:18 a.m. and sank their final putt, in a playoff at 7:38 p.m.
Waiting out the entirety of the afternoon wave is a difficult task, especially when it comes on the heels of a missed putt.
Talking about the final hole of regulation, Aikens said “I missed a pretty short putt on 18 that I should have made. It would have made the waiting process a lot easier. So I had to sit there, think about it, and dwell on it for six hours.”
After that six hour wait, the two found themselves in a four-team playoff for three spots. And they were quickly greeted with another bit of misfortune. Parziale’s tee shot on the first playoff hole came to rest in a divot, and forced him to play conservatively to the middle of the green, eliminating the thought of birdie.
That put the pressure directly on the shoulders of Aikens. And he was ready for the challenge. Aikens’ approach shot came to rest 20-feet away from the hole. And after Parziale secured a par, it set the stage for the biggest putt of the day. Aikens redeemed himself with the clinching putt, and another coveted trip to a USGA Championship.
“It was great.” said Aikens. “After dwelling on it (the missed putt) for six hours, it felt really good.”
Two other teams advanced out of the same 4-for-3 playoff. With darkness setting, and headlights from golf carts lighting the green, the day finally ended as Mike Dunham and Jackson Kingman parred a 97-yard hole to take the last spot and earn their first trip to the championship.
Qualifiers: Herbie Aikens (Kingston, Mass.) & Matt Parziale (Brockton, Mass.) 66, John Hayes (Portland, Maine) & Reese McFarlane (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) 66, Michael Dunham (Concord, Mass.) & Jackson Kingman (Concord, Mass.) 66 >> Results
