Nagy Knocked Out in Quarterfinals of US Amateur Public Links
July 18, 2008
Aurora, Colo. - It took 24 holes, bur Charlotte 49ers rising junior Corey Nagy (Charlotte, N.C.; Vance H.S.) was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 83rd Annual US Amateur Public Links at Murphy Creek Golf Club in Aurora, Colo., Friday.
Nagy was defeated by Jack Newman of Des Moines, Iowa in the round of eight. Newman was up by three holes through 11, but Nagy rebounded by playing the final seven holes in two-under par. Nagy was down one heading to the 18th, but posted a par 4 while Newman bogeyed to force extra play.
The duo matched birdies on the 20th and 21st holes before Newman's birdie on hole #24 clinched the victory. Newman advanced to Friday afternoon's semifinals. The winner of the event regularly receives an invitation to the Masters.
Nagy reached the semifinals, last year. This year, he was tied for fourth in qualifying in the 155-player field. Advancing into the 64-player bracket, Nagy won three head-to-head matches to reach the final eight.
