Patrick Cantlay will have the opportunity Sunday to win the U.S. Amateur, matching a feat accomplished by his mentor, John Cook, in 1978. Cantlay will face SMU's Kelly Kraft in the 36-hole final.
Cook is known for exceptional control of the distance and trajectory of his iron shots. He’s passed that knowledge, much of which he learned from Ken Venturi, on to Cantlay. It’s no surprise then that the 19-year-old has continued to progress through the U.S. Amateur's match-play bracket on a course that’s playing firmer and faster as the week goes on.
Cantlay beat Jordan Russell, 4 and 3, in Saturday’s semifinals and now will try to become the second consecutive No. 1 amateur to win the Havemeyer Trophy. Peter Uihlein was No. 1 in the world when he won last year at Chambers Bay.
