BANDON, Ore. — Tyler Strafaci and Charles Osborne advanced to the U.S. Amateur final Saturday at Bandon Dunes to earn spots next year in the Masters and U.S. Open.
Strafaci, the rising Georgia Tech senior from Davie, Florida, beat Oklahoma State's Aman Gupta 1-up after losing a four-hole lead on the back nine. Osborne, the rising SMU junior from Reno, Nevada, topped UNC-Charlotte's Matthew Sharpstene 4 and 2.
The winner Sunday on the seaside course will get a spot in the 2021 British Open.
Strafaci is trying to become the second straight Georgia Tech player to win the Havemeyer Trophy, following Andy Ogletree.
