The Notebook

Hokie golfer Bryce Chalkley fell to Ji Soo Park on the first extra hole in the semifinals of the 98th annual Virginia State Golf Association Amateur Championship, being conducted at The Virginian Golf Club in Bristol, Virginia on Friday afternoon.

 

Chalkley, a rising sophomore from Richmond, Virginia, was one up entering the final hole of regulation, but Park, of Centerville, Virginia, birdied the 552-yard, par 5 18th hole to square the match. Park then birdied the 414-yard, par 4 first hole to claim the match. Park will play Scott Shingler of Haymarket, Virginia in Saturday’s 36-hole final.

 

Chalkley advanced to the semifinals with a 5 and 4 victory over Buck Brittain in Friday morning’s quarterfinals. Chalkley recorded four birdies in his 14 holes in the quarterfinals, including each of the last two holes to advance.
