Greaser's 62 Sets Course Record to Win U.S. Am Qualifier

Austin Greaser, a rising junior at the University of North Carolina, set the course record and shot a career-best 62 to win a United States Amateur qualifier Wednesday at the Edgewood Country Club in Charleston, W. Va.

Greaser shot a 6-under-par 65 in Wednesday's morning round, then blistered the field with nine birdies, nine pars and no bogeys in the afternoon to shoot 62.

He won the 36-hole U.S. Amateur qualifier with a 15-under 127, six shots ahead of runner-up Christopher Zhang.

Greaser's 62 broke the previous 18-hole course record, which was 64 by head professional Craig Berner.
