BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. -- Michigan sophomore Nick Carlson won two matches on the 19th hole Thursday at Oakland Hills to advance to the U.S. Amateur quarterfinals.Carlson, from Hamilton, Michigan, beat British Amateur champion Scott Gregory of England in the morning round of 32, and topped Thailands KK Limbhasut in the afternoon round of 16.It was unreal, Carlson said. I cant even describe it. There were so many people on this last hole. I was feeding off them on 18. ... I didnt really realize how amazing it was to have this big of a crowd until that last putt went in. Just to look out and see people three-deep all around the green, it was pretty special.Carlson will face Illinois junior Dylan Meyer of Evansville, Indiana, on Saturday on the Donald Ross-designed South Course that Ben Hogan dubbed the The Monster in his 1951 U.S. Open victory.I cant even put it to words, Carlson said. Sure, everyone is trying to win this, but I was just trying to get to match play, and now Im in the elite eight.Meyer beat Alex Smalley, the Duke sophomore from Wake Forest, North Carolina, who led stroke-play qualifying, 4 and 3 in the morning and outlasted Englands Sam Horsfield in 19 holes in the afternoon.Against Horsfield, Meyer made a 10-foot par putt on the 18th hole to extend the match, and won with a par on the first extra hole. Meyer also beat the Florida player, in the Western Amateur final.It was pretty stressful, Meyer said. I knew that there was a lot of heat on it, and I knew that I had to make it to extend the match. As Coach (Illinois Mike Small) preaches, we own 10-footers, we own 6-footers, we own these putts that put us in these positions, and as a good player, youre going to be in these positions. You have to be clutch, and its how you respond.In the other upper-bracket quarterfinal, Pepperdines Sahith Theegala of Chino Hills, California, will face Australias Curtis Luck. In the round of 16, Theegala beat Chiles Joaquin Niemann 3 and 1, and Luck routed Cameron Young of Scarborough, New York, 6 and 4.In the other quarterfinals, Southern Californias Jonah Texeira of Porter Ranch, California, will play LSUs Luis Gagne of Orlando, Florida, and former Stanford player David Boote of Wales will face Oklahomas Brad Dalke of Norman, Oklahoma.Texeira beat Kyler Dunkle of Denver 6 and 5; Gagne topped Jimmy Stanger of Tampa, Florida, 3 and 1; Boote edged Collin Morikawa of La Canada, California, 2 and 1; and Dalke beat Bryan Baumgarten of Granite Bay, California, in 19 holes.

After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual.

But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. Three weeks out from competition, Australias sailors are still running into rubbish and forced to stop their boats while training on Rios Olympic courses.While the raw sewage at Marina da Gloria has been cleaned up, out on Guanabara Bay defending 470 gold medallist Mat Belcher and his partner Will Ryan are still encountering obstacles ranging from dead animals to plastic bags.Two or three times a day we would be caught up with rubbish on our foil, Belcher told AAP from Rio.We need to stop, slow the boat down completely and raise our foils.Its getting better, hopefully we can get it down to one or two a week.But, despite organisers assurances, Belcher fears rubbish could play a dramatic role in the medal race.Yeah, absolutely that could happen, he said.What weve been told is theyre going to clean the course prior to each day, they will go on course and ensure that wont happen.Plastic bags almost cost Belcher and Ryan gold in a 2014 event in Rio when they dropped to last place in the medal race after being forced to stop and clear the rubbish off the boat.They caught up enough places to secure the points to win gold, but Belcher is aware it could have beenn disastrous.ddddddddddddIt had a massive, massive impact. Hopefully that doesnt happen in the Games, Belcher said.In their nine trips to Rio in the past three years, Belcher and Ryan have hit a chair and an esky on the water as well as countless bag and cans, but have seen some improvement in water quality.Its not ideal, Belcher said.Inside the marina theres been a dramatic improvement, its much more pleasant than having a raw sewage outlet where you launch your boat.But the water is still polluted and theres a lot of rubbish. Were hoping organisers can clean that up as we get closer to the Games.Theres all sorts of rubbish - dead animals, furniture, plastic bags, a lot of coke cans.Weve certainly heard a lot that theyre going to do everything they can to make sure its clean.Were happy with what theyre trying to do.Belcher teamed with Ryan after winning the 470 class gold medal with Malcolm Page at the London Games in 2012 and the new pair go to Rio as firm favourites after winning three of the past four world championships.
