match-play at US amateur championship
 

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Illinois – Brett Coletta, 19, of Australia, posted a 36-hole total of 7-under-par 133 to win medallist honours in the weather-delayed stroke-play qualifying of the 2015 U.S. Amateur Championship at Olympia Fields Country Club.

Coletta’s 4-under-par 66 on the North Course Tuesday placed him one stroke ahead of David Oraee, of Greeley, Colo., who shot 67 on the South Course for a 134 total.

Rain delayed the start of the second round of stroke play by 90 minutes on Tuesday morning and 54 players did not complete 36 holes. Play was halted because of darkness at 7:13 p.m., and the second round of stroke play was completed on Wednesday morning.

An 18-for-10 playoff for the final match-play berths started on the South Course at 9:15 a.m.

Jake Knapp, 21, of Costa Mesa, Calif., earned the No. 3 seed in match play after a score of 65 – the lowest recorded in stroke play on the North Course – gave him a total of 135.

Lee McCoy, 21, of Athens, Ga., a 2015 United States Walker Cup Team member, shot 70 on the North Course Tuesday to place him at 4-under 136.

George Cunningham, of Tucson, Ariz., scored a hole-in-one on the 138-yard, par-3 14th hole of the South Course with a pitching wedge for the first ace in the Amateur since 2013. He shot 66 for a 137 total.
