ATLANTA – Steven Fisk shot 69-69=138 (-6) to take third in the 36-hole U.S. Amateur qualifier at the Piedmont Driving Club Wednesday.

The junior earned a spot in the field of 312 competitors at the 117th playing of the U.S. Amateur in Los Angeles, Aug. 14-20. Bel-Air country club will host two rounds of stroke play, and the top-64 players will advance to match play at the Riviera Country Club.

Fisk continued his good play this summer after third-place finishes at the Southeastern Amateur and Dogwood Invitational. Reigning Australian Amateur champion Matias Sanchez was co-medalist at Piedmont Driving Club with mid-amateur Chris Waters of Atlanta at 7-under 137. Thomas Hogan earned the last qualifying spot with a 70-69=139 (-5) as the top-4 advanced from a field of 132.

Along with the prestigious Havemeyer Trophy, among the spoils for the winner is an exemption from local and sectional qualifying for the next U.S. Open, an exemption from qualifying for the next 10 U.S. Amateurs, an exemption from qualifying for the next British Open Championship and a likely invitation to the next Masters Tournament.
