CHASKA, Minn. — It was a good day to be a low seed at the 2024 U.S. Amateur.
Match play began with the Round of 64 on Wednesday at Hazeltine National Golf Club, and higher-seeded opponents didn’t fare so well as the stroke-play score would’ve indicated. More than half of the lower seeds won their matches, and there were also seven matches that went extra holes, including one that went 25 holes.
However, there are plenty of big names moving on to Thursday, when the Round of 32 will be contested in the morning with the Round of 16 following in the afternoon all on what’s expected to be a rainy day at Hazeltine. That comes on the heels of a breezy Wednesday that helped the course show its toughest test of the week.
