Crump Cup: Stewart Hagestad two wins away from defending his title

He'll face off against Jimmy Ellis, one of the top stories of the U.S. Amateur and the top seed Brad Tilley will face Andrew Price

The semi-final matches are set in the 99th Crump Cup. The top seed in the Championship flight, Brad Tilley, will face off against Andrew Price. In the other semi-final, last year’s champion, Stewart Hagestad, will play 2022 runner-up Jimmy Ellis.

Hagestad won the rain-shortened event last season, taking down Stephen Behr, the 2022 winner, in a one-hole playoff after both men shot 73 on Saturday in the one-round sprint to the Cup.
