Madigan Heads Home from U.S. Am

Tim Madigan made bogey on the first hole of a 27-man play-off for four remaining spots in the U.S. Amateur Match Play portion Wednesday morning, and did not advance.

The format was three groups of four and three groups of five, playing No. 14 at Southern Hills Country Club.  ” We were in the last group of five and there were two birdies in the groups before us, so we needed par to move on,” said father Steve, who was in the gallery as a spectator while Tim’s cousin, Jim Heimerle, looped for him.

“He missed the fairway right and the ball sat down in the Bermuda, and he made a nice chip to five feet, but missed the putt,” he said.

Madigan’s failure to advance left Sun Country with none of its three qualifiers in the field of 64, which was on the course today in match play that continues through Sunday at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla.
