Zhen Kai Bai aced the 7th hole and his mom caught it on her cell phone!
Pepperdine's Clay Feagler holed out at 15 en route to a Round of 64 win.
Stewart Hagestad finally made it to match play in the U.S. Amateur, defeating the dapper Harry Hall of England and his strong fisherman's hat. My story for Golfweek.
