Whitekiller is from Oklahoma so may have some familiarity with the course. Not too mention, his name is somewhat intimidating.

Post by: nyg on August 27, 2009, 10:45:50 AM: 4 up through 4. Good grief, he is killing this guy also. When you are on, you are on.....
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: copious1218 on August 27, 2009, 11:31:15 AM: 6 up through 7! Just looked at the "Match Play Tree" (aka "bracket") - the guy he is playing is the 6 seed in the tournament (Van Sickle is #27) - huge round for him so far.
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: nyg on August 27, 2009, 11:34:49 AM: 6 up through 7 holes is destruction again. His ranking was based upon two round stroke play which seeded them. Match play an entire different game and Van Sickle can intimidate an opponent with his length. Usually by this time in the tournament, the matches are close, but this is unreal in the National Amateur.

Hopefully not blowing his wad in these two matches, but keep it going.

Post by: MU B2002 on August 27, 2009, 12:09:15 PM: 6 up after ten. A win on 11 and match would go dormie. Whitekiller is struggling.
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: bma725 on August 27, 2009, 12:11:56 PM: 7 up after 11.

MVS is -3 for the day, Whitekiller is +4.

Ouch.
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: copious1218 on August 27, 2009, 12:13:57 PM: If he halves #12 he wins 7 & 6 and can get a nice break before his afternoon match starts
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: bma725 on August 27, 2009, 12:20:56 PM: Crap. MVS makes bogey on 12, Whitekiller pars. 6 up with 6 to play.

MVS wins 6&5. Impressive :)

He'll be playing the winner of this match (http://www.usamateur.org/scoring/nml/match/0216.html) next. The gentleman from Korea, Byeong-Hun An, is up 3 with 5 left to play.
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: dwaderoy2004 on August 27, 2009, 12:54:28 PM: he may be up 3 on his opponent, but he is 2 over for the round. MVS plays like he did this morning, he should destroy him.

Post by: jmayer1 on August 27, 2009, 01:40:59 PM: Van Sickle was sporting a white, MU Nike zip-up golf polo shirt today. Very nice!!!!

He will indeed face off with Byeong-Hun An. The tee-time is set for 2:25 local time (central) this afternoon, however I do not think any of their match will be on tv as the golf channel coverage ends at 2.

Here is the tv coverage for the rest of the tourney, should MVS continue to advance:

Date     Network     Program     Broadcast Hours (EDT)
Friday (Aug. 28)     Golf Channel Quarterfinals     1-3 p.m.
Saturday (Aug. 29)     NBC     Semifinals     4-6 p.m.
Sunday (Aug. 30)     NBC     Final     4-6 p.m.

Post by: MUfan12 on August 27, 2009, 05:01:06 PM: Back to AS thru 12.

Mike needs to start making some birdies.
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: PuertoRicanNightmare on August 27, 2009, 06:01:59 PM: MVS birdies 17 to bring it back to all square....ONIONS!!
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: ChicosBailBonds on August 27, 2009, 06:28:20 PM: They both bogied the 18th
Title: Re: Van Sickle watch
Post by: ChicosBailBonds on August 27, 2009, 06:46:03 PM: Bummer....lost in the 2nd playoff hole. MVS double bogies and the other guy bogeyed to win.

Post by: copious1218 on October 27, 2009, 02:27:23 PM: Van Sickle just wrapped up his first round of the first stage of qualifying - he finished at +1. A bit of work to do the next three days to make the second round of qualifying.
