It's time for the semifinals of the 126th U.S. Amateur.
The week started with 312 players battling it out for a spot in match play, and only four remain with a shot to lift the Havemeyer Trophy. There will be plenty of stress come Saturday. For the two players who advance, they'll get into the championship match and get spots in next year's Masters and U.S. Open.
No pressure.
Follow the semifinals at the 2026 U.S. Amateur on Saturday for live updates, highlights, leaderboard, scores and more.
