Meissner/Carmona in a couple of prestigious amateur events
http://www.riceowls.com/sports/m-golf/sp...18aaa.html

Mitchell Meissner qualified for next month's U.S. Amateur (at Pebble Beach). It was kind of cool that he and his younger brother were the 2 qualifiers from their qualifying tournament in San Antonio (and if that's his brother in the photo standing next to Mitchell in the story linked above, his brother is like half a foot taller than him).

And I know I saw a story a couple of days ago on an amateur tournament that begins tomorrow that features Mario Carmona and like 50 other amateur golfers. It's a tournament on the east coast somewhere and the winner gets a sponsors exemption to the RBC Heritage PGA tournament at Hilton Head for 2019. I can't find that link right now.

Carmona shot another 69 today and is T17 (-4), six shots back of the leaders, Andy Zhang (U.Florida rising junior, who at age 14 was youngest person to qualify for the U.S. Open) and Kiwi Daniel Hillier.

Mario shot a 1-under-par 70 today to finish in a 9-way tie for 8th (-5). A very good tournament for him.

The winner was Vanderbilt rising junior John Augenstein (-12).

Ooops. Thanks, Bob. I thought it was a 3-day tourney. Should have looked at the dates in the banner.

Carmona finished +3 today -- double bogey on #1 and three consecutive bogeys to end his round -- to fall back to T25 (-2).

(Augenstein won it at -16, four shots ahead of Zhang.)

Neither Meissner or Carmona qualified for the Match Play portion of the US Amateur. Meissner came close but missed the cut off by a few strokes (his brother, the SMU golfer made it). It must have been windy - the scores weren't that great and Carmona's second round was ugly (86). There are 24 golfers tied for the last qualifying spot so they'll have some sort of insane playoff this morning to figure out who gets to play the #1 seed in the first round of Match Play.
