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.
