The amateurs that were lucky enough to get the chance to play at St. Andrews this weekend, made the most of their time there. Nine amateurs were in the field when the week started.
Five of them made the cut, which when your are playing in a major championship is an accomplishment in of itself, but four were in the top 30.
UAB’s Paul Dunne was looking to improve upon missing cut at last years Open, and he did a lot more than that. Dunne was in a three way time for the lead going into Monday’s final round, and was looking to become the first amateur to win the Open since 1930.
