Clemson senior Jacob Bridgeman fired a seven-under-par 63 and took the lead at the midpoint of the first round of the 2021 United States Amateur in Pennsylvania on Monday. The first two rounds serve as a stroke play qualifier over Monday and Tuesday. Each of the 312 players will play one round at the Longue Vue Golf Club in Verona, Pa and one round at the famed Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa.
Bridgeman played his first round at the statistically easier Longue Vue Golf Club on Monday and he responded with a round that tied for the fourth lowest in the history of the United States Amateur.
