BROOKLINE, Mass. - Gonzaga University men's golf sophomore-to-be Sean Walsh began the 113th U.S. Amateur Championship Monday at the Charles River Country Club in Brookline, Mass.
Walsh, the inaugural Bulldog to earn a spot in the U.S. Amateur Championship, began the two-days of 18 holes of stroke play shooting a 1-over par 71 Monday. Walsh's 71 has him currently tied for 37th going into the final 18 holes of stroke play Tuesday.
The Keller, Texas native closed out the round - 6,574 yards, par-70 course - producing three birdies, 12 pars, while hiccupping with just two bogeys and one double bogey.
The field of 312 golfers will be cut to the low 64 scorers after Tuesday's round. Six rounds of match play then begin on Wednesday and the championship concludes with a scheduled 36-hole championship match on Sunday at the Country Club (7,310-yards, par-70).
