State Am comes down to defending champion Preston Summerhays and USU golfer Chase Lansford

Midway • If he becomes the second member of his extended family to win consecutive State Amateur golf titles as a teenager, Preston Summerhays will always remember one of the best bogeys of his life.

Utah State golfer Chase Lansford, Summerhays' opponent in Saturday's 36-hole match at Soldier Hollow Golf Course, advanced to the finals with the help of a remarkable par save Friday on No. 15. The 16-year-old Summerhays' 6 on No. 16 was even better.

Three weeks after returning from a church mission, Elijah Turner seemed ready to pull into a tie on the par-5 hole, where Summerhays drove into the left rough and couldn't find his ball.
