Some things are worth the wait.
Case in point: UNM golfer Bastien Amat flipped the switch to the tune of 10 strokes in the final round of U.S. Open qualifying with a 6-under-par 65, but finished one stroke out of a playoff.

As he recounted in an interview on Monday with The Opening Drive (610 AM), he got a “random” text from USGA player services on Saturday and gave them a call.
