Logan Second Bulldog To Qualify For U.S. Amateur

OXFORD, Miss. – Hunter Logan became the second Mississippi State men’s golfer to qualify for the 122nd U.S. Amateur after winning his qualifier on Wednesday.
 
Logan will join Harrison Davis at the prestigious tournament on August 15-21 in Paramus, New Jersey.
 
The Steens, Mississippi, native played a career round at the Ole Miss Golf Club in Oxford. Logan collected six birdies and back-to-back eagles in his opening round to card a 9-under 63. He was an impressive 4-under on par-4 holes and 6-under on par-5s, both of which led the field.
 
In the second round, he played consistently to secure his lead, going 18 holes without a bogey. In the 36-hole qualifier, he was only over par once, when he needed four strokes on the par-3 No. 12 tee in the first round.
 
Logan, who led MSU in stroke average this past season, held a four-stroke lead over the next qualifier. His opening round was better than his collegiate bests for 18 holes (67) and 18 holes relative to par (5-under) and his victory would top his runner-up finish at this year’s Mossy Oak Collegiate.
 
The 122nd U.S. Amateur will be hosted by The Ridgewood Country Club and Arcola Country Club. Two stroke-play rounds of 18 holes will take place on August 15-16 before the field is cut to 64 for match play.
