PEBBLE BEACH, Cal. – South Dakota State men’s golfer Sam Batta finished his summer season, missing the round of 64 at the 118th U.S. Amateur on Tuesday.
After shooting a 77 in the first round Monday, the freshman fired an 81 at the Spyglass Hill Golf Course in the second round to finish with a 158.
Batta pulled off a rare occurrence this summer by qualifying for both the U.S. Amateur and the 71st U.S. Junior Amateur.
