Texasâ Travis Vick (+5) and Texas A&Mâs Sam Bennett (+7) are beginning to separate themselves from the rest of the amateurs in the 2022 U.S. Open field. Although they didnât have the best days at 76 and 74, respectively, they are in position to take the low amateur honors.
The two will look to add themselves to the illustrious list of names to have claimed the low amateur award at the U.S. Open.
Vick was in control of his round up until the moment where he carded a nine on the par-5 eighth. He responded swiftly with birdies on nine and ten, but gave them back with two holes over par on the back nine.
