Making match play at the U.S. Amateur is no easy task. The field starts with 312 players and has to be whittled down to 64—eliminating almost 80 percent of those who qualified after just two days. A bad stretch during the two rounds of stroke-play qualifying makes the challenge that much more difficult, as some of the top-ranked amateurs in the game learned over the last two days during opening play at Hazeltine National and Chaska Town Course in Minnesota.

They say bunkers are intended to be a half-stroke penalty to your score. Sometimes you get lucky and save par; sometimes you don't. That said, not all bunker lies are the half-stroke variety. You might hit a high wedge into a green that plops down into the sand like it landed in Jello-O pudding.

Cooking With Maryann

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!
