For BYU golfers Rhett Rasmussen and Peter Kuest, there’s still a chance to make the match play portion of the U.S. Amateur Golf Championship at Pebble Beach, California. However both players can’t make it.

You see, Rasmussen, a native of Draper who will be a junior at BYU this fall, and Kuest, a junior-to-be from Fresno, will be part of a 24-man playoff for one spot in match play after both finished in a tie for 64th place at 4-over-par 147 after two rounds at the Spyglass and Pebble Beach golf courses.
