He made a four-foot par putt on his final hole of stroke play qualifying to secure his spot in the match play bracket of the U.S. For those of us old heads (I’m 42) who enjoy amateur golf, rooting for Mid-Ams at the U.S. Yes, fellow Mid-Ams Evan Beck, Grady Brame Jr. and Matthew Lowe also qualified for match play, but Hagestead is the name we all recognize. He’s played on the last five Walker Cup teams and likely will make the team again this year. He’s played in the prestigious Crump Cup at Pine Valley and every other major amateur tournament around the country.
