Virginia Tech golfer Bryce Chalkley defeated teammate Garland Green on Thursday afternoon and advanced to the quarterfinals of Virginia State Golf Association Amateur Championship being conducted at The Virginian Golf Club this week. 

Chalkley, as rising sophomore from Richmond, Virginia, defeated Green, 2 and 1. Chalkley made seven birdies in the victory. Green, from Tazewell, Virginia, recently completed his collegiate career. A third Tech golfer advanced out of stroke play into match play on Thursday. Mikey Moyers, a rising junior from Stanardsville, Virginia, fell to three-time defending champion Brinson Paolini, 4 and 2. Paolini was defeated in the round of 16.

Chalkley opened the day with a 3 and 2 win over Patrick Scheil and Green defeated Roger Newsom, 3 and 2 to force the match-up.

Chalkley will face another Tazewell golfer in the quarterfinal on Friday, as he will play Buck Brittian in the first action of the morning at 8 a.m. The winner of that match will play the winner of the Weston Eklund/Ji Soo Park in Friday afternoon’s first semifinal match. The 36-hole final match will be played Saturday.
