Luke Clanton makes cut after marathon weekend; 14-for-11 playoff for final match play spots at 2024 U.S. Amateur
Stroke play concludes Tuesday at Hazeltine National Golf Club and co-host Chaska Town Course, but come Wednesday morning, there will be a 14-for-11 playoff to determine who gets the final spots for match play, with the Round of 64 to follow.
Perhaps the story of the tournament so far is 39-year-old Jimmy Ellis, . He’ll be the top seed for match play but will have to wait to find out who he will face.
But that’s far from the only storyline after stroke play. Luke Clanton, who’s set to take over No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking on Wednesday, is on to match play after a whirlwind weekend that saw him place top five in a PGA Tour event in North Carolina before jetting to Minneapolis to make it to the U.S. Amateur.
