SAN FRANCISCO – With the winds picking up, the temperatures dipping and the greens at Olympic Club’s Lake Course starting to firm up on the second day of match play at the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball, it was a perfect time for experienced competitors to step up.
And so they did.
First it was U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Scott Harvey, who is partnered alongside another longtime Mid-Am stalwart, Todd Mitchell. Those two advanced to Wednesday’s semifinals with a 3-and-2 victory over Texans Zach Atkinson and James Edmondson.
Wednesday morning they will take on two of Harvey’s North Carolina neighbors: Sherrill Britt, 49, a custom home builder who is coming off a victory in the North Carolina Mid-Am, and insurance agent Greg Earnhardt, 46.
