PARAMUS, N.J. – The 15-man playoff Wednesday morning at the U.S. Amateur lasted just one hole, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t eventful.
There were exactly four bogeys on the par-3 15th hole at The Ridgewood Country Club, which allowed 11 players to advance to match play with par or better.
There was one birdie, a 12-foot putt canned by UNC-Wilmington junior Walker Isley, who is playing in his first USGA championship.
There was even a chunk.
Stanford standout Karl Vilips was second to play in the first group out at 7:30 a.
