Golf Betting Lines

08/26/2010 - University Place, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defending champion Byeong-Hun An and current NCAA champion Scott Langley both won two matches on Thursday to advance to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur Championship.

An had a relatively easy time on Thursday with a 4 & 3 victory over Alex Shi Yup Kim in the second round, then beat Scott Strohmeyer, 3 & 2 in the third round.

An will face Max Homa in the quarterfinals on Friday at Chambers Bay. Homa was also a big winner on Thursday. He destroyed Carter Newman, 7 & 6 in the morning, then eliminated Harris English, 4 & 3 in the afternoon.

An has a chance to become the first player to successfully defend his title since Tiger Woods won three in a row from 1994-96.

Langley needed an extra hole to best Tim Jackson in the first round on Wednesday, and he also took one playoff hole to topple Patrick Reed in the second round.

His third-round win was much easier. Langley crushed Ryan McCarthy, 6 & 4 Thursday afternoon.

"I'm happy to win today and get it done early," said Langley, who won the NCAA title at the University of Illinois and shared low amateur honors at this year's U.S. Open. "Ryan is a great player, but he struggled a bit."

Langley's quarterfinal opponent will be David Chung, who knocked out Skip Berkmeyer, 4 & 3 in the second round and Brad Benjamin, 2 & 1 in the third round.

Patrick Cantlay moved on to the quarterfinals Thursday with a 3 & 2 win over Blayne Barber and a 1-up victory over Connor Arendell. Cantlay will take on Jed Dirksen, who beat Hudson Swafford, 2 & 1 in the morning and needed an extra hole to best Joseph Bramlett.

Friday's final quarterfinal match will feature Morgan Hoffman, who had an impressive Thursday. He handled Richard Werenski, 6 & 4, then sent Alex Ching packing to the tune of 4 & 2.

Hoffman gets Peter Uihlein on Friday. Uihlein took out Emiliano Grillo, 2-up Thursday morning then needed one extra hole to knock off John Hahn in the final third-round match.
