Naas’ Jack Hume added a one under par 69 on Oakland Hills Country Club’s North Course to his 72 on the South to make the lowest cut in US. Amateur Championship history and qualify for the matchplay stages.

On the face of it, the 22-year old made the top 64 with ease as he finished in a tie for 41st on one over par at the venue where Pádraig Harrington denied Sergio Garcia the 2008 PGA Championship.

But he only avoided a 23-man playoff for the last eight spots by a single stroke as the cut fell at two over 142, which is the lowest mark since the strokeplay and matchplay format was adopted in 1979.

The Irish star was one over par for his round after five holes but he made birdie twos at the sixth and 10th to move up the leaderboard, then followed a bogey at the 13th with what turned out to be a crucial birdie at the 321-yard 15th.

World No 5 Hume will now face world No 469 Bryson Nimmer from South Carolina in the first round  at 1650 Irish time.

Duke University sophomore Alex Smalley topped the qualifiers on seven-under par 133 to tie for the second-lowest 36-hole score in the history of the championship. 

The 19-year old finished one stroke behind the championship mark of 132 shared by Hank Kim (1994), Gregor Main (2011) and Bobby Wyatt (2012), and tied with Brett Coletta (2015).

“I’m kind of shaking a little bit, still. I'm not sure what to feel,” said Smalley, 19. “This is my first U.S. Amateur, so it's kind of cool taking home medalist. Medalist is nice, but we've still got a lot more golf to go.”

Playing in the rainy morning session, Dawson Armstrong, of Brentwood, Tenn., and Gavin Hall, of Pittsford, N.Y., finished one stroke behind Smalley, at 134.

Twenty-three players will play off at 2-over 142 for the final eight match-play berths, beginning at 8 a.m. EDT Wednesday on the North Course. 

The 64-player match play round begins on the South Course at 9 a.m. Among those in the playoff are Maverick McNealy, No.1 in the World Amateur Golf Rankin; 2015 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Sammy Schmitz; and 2014 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Scott Harvey.

Both courses, designed by Donald Ross, are playing to a par of 70. The South Course plays to 7,334 yards and the North Course lists a yardage of 6,849.

The 2016 U.S. Amateur Championship consists of 36 holes of stroke play, followed by six rounds of match play, which begins Wednesday and concludes with Sunday’s 36-hole championship.
