Team USA explodes in round one of US Amateur match play

UPDATE: Bud Cauley loses to David Lingmerth, 2 & 1…all 8 Walker Cuppers are out!!

MEANWHILE, Mike Van Sickle wins, 6 & 5…Dan Woltman wins, 7 & 6… Peter Uihlein wins, 2 & 1… Cameron Tringale wins, 1 up… Phillip Mollica wins, 1 up.

DO YOU THINK that these guys want to make the USA side just a little bit? I do, too.

ORIGINAL ENTRY:
Rickie Fowler loses to Bud Cauley, 3 & 1
Brian Harman loses to Chris Ward, 19 holes
Morgan Hoffman loses to Charlie Hoffman, 19 holes
Nathan Smith loses to Zach Barlow, 2 down

Drew Weaver, missed match play by 1 stroke
Adam Mitchell, missed match play by 3 strokes
Brendan Gielow, missed match play by 6 strokes

Not exactly the results Buddy Marucci (who lost in a 27-for-4 playoff for the last match play spots) was hoping for, heading into the Walker Cup.

On the bright side, team USA has two more picks and the guys most likely to be in the running (Peter Uihlein, Mike Van Sickle, Mark Anderson, Cameron Tringale and Dan Woltman) were winners or were winning of/in first round matches at 5 PM EST. Finally, the hottest player around, Dodge Kemmer, disposed of his opponent, 6 & 5. Kemmer won the Scratch Players Championship last week.

I find it interesting that apparently Tim Jackson never was on the radar for the Walker Cup. Admittedly, I am functioning as a homer in this case but he is a two-time Mid-Am champion, 11th in the Senior Open and the medalist for the Amateur, as well as winning his first round match. I think that is as good a resume as most, if not all, the college kids who were picked. Maybe Mariucci (sp?) didn't want old guys upstaging him?

He is their first alternate, so he was on the screen until the end. I think if he had won three matches at the Am, instead of 1, he would have made the team. Beating one kid is one thing, but if he had beaten three, he would have been a lock and Tringale would have been the alternate.

You have a point but it was one more match than a number of players already on the team won and, again, he was the medalist.
