ROUND 2 MacIntyre’s putting and approach play outstanding, but Scottie is lurking.

1 R MacIntyre-14 64 Another incredible RD bogie free 6 birdies.

2 S Scheffler Amazing 73’ putt on 17 to 4’ of hole for par and final group R3.

11 R McIlroy-4 66 DB on #3, three birdies 1 eagle#16 final 10 holes.

17 J Day-1 71 Five bogies, may have played his way out of T0p 30.

20 B Griffin-1 72 Four bogies, may be out of it, now trying for top 10.

ROUND 3 MacIntyre & Scheffler are the final group. I think 1 of these 2 will win.

Scheffler was picked #1 to win(2.4/1), MacIntyre #20(50/1).

1 R MacIntyre-16 68 Bogies 1st then 0 bogies 3 birdies to stay with Scheffler.

2 S Schetffler-12 67 Came within 3 shots after 14 but MacIntyre long birdie putt on 18.

3 L Aberg-10 68 Finishes with 3 birdies on last 8 holes, but may be too far back.

26 H Matsuyama+2 Drops 22 spots 73&76+9 last 2RDs.

FINAL RD 1 Amazing job by Mac RD3 to stay with the best golfer in the world.

MacIntyre may win but he has to hold the lead in the final RD, and he does not.

It was a 2 horse race until Scottie took the lead on #7 and it was over.

1 Scottie Scheffler-15 67 Birdies 3 of 1st 7 hole to take lead he never gives up. $3.6M

2 Robert MacIntyre-13 73 Bogies 3 of 1st 5 holes, 1 birdie on 16 to Scotties 6. $2.2M

COMMENTARY

US Amateur Championship is being held at The Olympic Club in San Francisco.

John Daly’s son plays for Arkansas as did his Dad, but lost to Mason Howell, 18

who wins to get a spot on the Walker Cup team to be played at Cypress Point,

the 2026 US Open & The Masters.

John Daly’s Autobiography “John Daly My Life In & Out Of The Rough” is a great read.
