HOWELL TAKES 5-UP LEAD
Herrington’s third finds itself on the green, but not that close to Howell’s, who got there in two.
Herrington’s put for par misses right, leaving Howell two putts to win. The first comes up inches short and he completes the formalities to go 5-up.
Lots of golf left here yet, but that’s not the start to the second half of proceedings Herrington was looking for.
ASSURED RESUMPTION FROM THE LEADER
There’s a great turnout at the venue as Howell finds the fairway with his tee shot at the 19th, but it’s not so good for Herrington, who’s in the rough.
Howell’s bang in the middle, and places his approach nicely onto the green to leave a birdie chance, before Herrington lays up to settle for just getting out of the rough.
A FITTING VENUE
The Olympic Club is about 12 miles from downtown San Francisco and a fitting venue for the 125th US Amateur having hosted five US Opens, one US Women’s Open and the Tour Championship. It’s also the venue for the 2028 PGA Championship and 2033 Ryder Cup.
THE STORY SO FAR…
After Herrington took an early lead, he was pegged back by Howell at the third and by the 16th, he was 5-up.
Herrington then reduced the deficit at the 17th and that’s how it stayed as the pair headed back to the clubhouse for a breather before the second 18.
