For those not following the match play results closely, #1 seed Brandon Wu lost yesterday to the guy who was the final qualifier in the 27 for 3 playoff. It was a very close match, but Wu never led.
Shimp also never led and did not make a single birdie all day in his round of 64 match. He still took his match to the 18th hole but lost 1 up.
Salinda had to win 17 and 18 (with a par and a birdie) to win his match 1 up. Very dramatic finish.
Vilips never trailed and won 2 and 1.
In the round of 32, Salinda and Vilips both won. Salinda won 1 up, Vilips 3 and 1.
In the round of 16 being played now, Salinda is up against Palmer Jackson who will be a frosh at Notre Dame. Yes, he is named for Arnold Palmer.
Vilips is playing Brad Dalke who just finished his career at Oklahoma. Dalke made it all the way to the US Amateur finals in 2016 before losing.
