Mitchell Meissner qualified for next month's U.S. Amateur (at Pebble Beach). It was kind of cool that he and his younger brother were the 2 qualifiers from their qualifying tournament in San Antonio (and if that's his brother in the photo standing next to Mitchell in the story linked above, his brother is like half a foot taller than him).

And I know I saw a story a couple of days ago on an amateur tournament that begins tomorrow that features Mario Carmona and like 50 other amateur golfers. It's a tournament on the east coast somewhere and the winner gets a sponsors exemption to the RBC Heritage PGA tournament at Hilton Head for 2019. I can't find that link right now.

Carmona shot a 2 under 69 in the 1st round, and is tied for 14th.

Carmona shot another 69 today and is T17 (-4), six shots back of the leaders, Andy Zhang (U.Florida rising junior, who at age 14 was youngest person to qualify for the U.S. Open) and Kiwi Daniel Hillier.

Mario shot a 1-under-par 70 today to finish in a 9-way tie for 8th (-5). A very good tournament for him.

The winner was Vanderbilt rising junior John Augenstein (-12).

It's not over yet. Final round will be tomorrow.

Ooops. Thanks, Bob. I thought it was a 3-day tourney. Should have looked at the dates in the banner.

Carmona finished +3 today -- double bogey on #1 and three consecutive bogeys to end his round -- to fall back to T25 (-2).

(Augenstein won it at -16, four shots ahead of Zhang.)
