Defeated Sean Crocker 4&3 today to advance to the finals!

Forgot it was on and literally saw the last three strokes - a put by Crocker to extend and two puts by DeChambeau to win.

What is it with SMU golfers and the U.S. Am.

It doesn't sound like he will skip the Masters like Knost did when he won it.

Really excited to watch tomorrow. Add the Walker cup and he will have had a heck of a year. Masters and US Open next year and British if he wins.

And he wore the Red Pony on his cap. Nice mentions of SMU by the announcers.

Awesome! Sunday is going to be exciting.

SMU senior Bryson DeChambeau advanced to the U.S. Amateur final, putting him a victory away from becoming the fifth player to win the tournament and NCAA individual title in the same year.

DeChambeau, from Clovis, California, beat Southern California sophomore Sean Crocker 4 and 3 in the semifinals Saturday at Olympia Fields. He will face Virginia junior Derek Bard of New Hartford, New York, in the 36-hole final Sunday. Bard topped Japan's Kenta Konishi 3 and 2.

"It'll be a fun battle," DeChambeau said. "If I can stay in the moment, I'll be all right."

Jack Nicklaus (1961), Phil Mickelson (1990), Tiger Woods (1996) and Ryan Moore (2004) are the only players to sweep the NCAA and Amateur titles in a season.

"To be in that group of players would be incredible, but I still have work to do," DeChambeau said. "I'm just going to play my game."
