Some think Cole might be the next "Jordan Spieth".....

US Amateur on FS1 TODAY @ 6pm and Cole has advanced to Matchplay Round of 16.

HOOK'EM  🤘

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Cole Hammer is in position to go for a rare sweep in this summer’s biggest events.

Two weeks ago, Hammer, an incoming freshman at Texas, was the co-medalist at the Western Amateur and went on to take the match-play portion, as well.

Here at the U.S. Amateur, Hammer shot rounds of 69-68 and was once again in position to earn co-medalist honors. At 6-under 137, he was tied with 19-year-old Daniel Hillier of New Zealand.

“It would mean a lot, especially after being medalist at the Western Am,” Hammer said afterward. “It’s pretty special.”

No stroke-play medalist has prevailed in the 64-man match-play bracket since Ryan Moore in 2004. Before that, Tiger Woods (1996) was the most recent medalist champion.

On the strength of his Western Am title, Hammer, 18, has soared to No. 18 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. He credited his work with swing coach Cameron McCormick and mental coach Bob Rotella.

“Just really started controlling my iron shots really well,” said Hammer, who has worked with McCormick since 2015, when he qualified for the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay as a 15-year-old.

Cole is the ultimate country club kid. Kinkaid HS, River Oaks CC. Dad is CIO of Enterprise Products. NTTIAWWT

 

 

He works with both  Swing Coach Cameron McCormick and Mental Coach Bob Rotella.

Cole also recently spoke with Patrick Reed about how to improve in Matchplay...

With his elbow surgery healed, won't be surprised if he leaves TEXAS after 1yr for PGA.

Hammer into the semis. Unfortunately, his next opponent is the hottest player in the tournament. Victor Hovland was the anchor of that very stout Oklahoma State NC team. #5 ranked amateur in the world. Been smoking people in the last 2 matches. Should be a great match

The FS1 coverage has been commercial free. Glorious!

 Interesting Strategies on Par 5 Hole #14...

Hovland outdrove HAMMER off Tee, but laid further back on 2nd shot

that'll pretty much do it barring Hovland going in the tank.

Hovland approach shot at #16 within 8-10 feet..... This guy is GOOD

HAMMER'S approach pulled but stays on green approx 18 feet

Damn. Hard to beat a guy playing that well. 

AGREED.......

Hovland is ranked higher as an Amateur and much more experienced  than COLE.  Hovland  also played on Okie Lite's Natty Golf Team for 2018
