SAN FRANCISCO -- Tennessee teenager Jackson Herrington made a 5-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to beat local favorite Niall Shiels Donegan on Saturday to advance to the U.S. Amateur final at The Olympic Club.

Herrington became just the seventh Tennessean to make it to the finals of the U.S. Amateur. Hillman Robbins (1957), David Gossett (1999) and Steven Fox (2012) walked away with victories, while Danny Green (1989), Luke List (2004) and Casey Whittenburg (2003) finished as runner-up.

On Sunday, the bombers will meet in the 36-hole championship match on the Lake Course. Should Howell win, he would overtake Tiger Woods as the third-youngest player to win the Havemeyer Trophy in the 125th edition of the USGA’s oldest men's championship.

Jackson Herrington and Mason Howell are both Augusta-bound teenagers. But only 1 can win the U.S. Amateur on Sunday. The post Meet the 2 Masters-bound teenagers playing for the U.S. Amateur title appeared first on Golf.
