Snoeberger Advances to Match Play at U.S. Amateur

PARAMUS, N.J. – Senior Peyton Snoeberger parred the first playoff hole this morning to punch his ticket to the match play portion of the 122^nd United States Amateur Championship, held at the Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey.
 
Snoeberger is one of 64 qualifiers into the match play portion, out of a tournament field that started at 312 participants. He tied for 54^th overall, then advanced out of a 15-player for 11-spot playoff with a par on the par-3 15^th hole.
 
Snoeberger totaled a 36-hole total of 5-over par 146 (75-71) to advance. He shot a 5-over par 75 at the Arcola Country Club on Monday, but responded with an even-par 71 on the difficult Ridgewood CC layout, posting the sixth-best score out of 156 golfers on the course on Tuesday. He rose from 137^th after Monday to 54^th with his even-par round.
 
He will now face the tournament’s top seed, Luke Gutschewski of Elkhorn, Nebraska, in the round of 64 this afternoon, at 2:10 p.m. ET. Gutchewski earned co-medalist honors with a 3-under par 138 (68-70). Gutschewski last played in the Canadian Amateur Championship placing fifth, the same tournament that Snoeberger’s teammate Nick Dentino finished eighth.
