Virginia Tech’s Bryce
Chalkley defeated two competitors, including teammate Mikey Moyers, in a
playoff to claim the final spot out of the U.S. Amateur sectional qualifying at
the Country Club of Petersburg Monday in Petersburg, Va. The Hokie duo each shot
five-under-par 67 in the morning round and even-par 72 in the afternoon round.
Chalkley, Moyers, a rising junior from Stanardsville, Va., and Sam Beach
entered a playoff. Chalkley secured the final spot in the
national championship by converting a two-putt par from 10 feet at the second
extra hole, the par-3 ninth. Chalkley, a rising sophomore
from Richmond, Va., who plays out of the Country Club of Petersburg, will join
Nick Austin of Midlothian, Va., and Jeremy Wells of Hopewell, Va., as the
qualifiers out of Petersburg. The trio will play in the 2011 U.S. Amateur
Championship, to be played at Erin Hills in Erin, Wis., Aug. 22-28. Chalkley
and Wells were teammates at St. Christopher’s School for two years.
