    URBANA (WCIA) — It took a three-hole playoff to crown a champion at this year’s state amateur tournament, but Pierce Grieve finished the day on top for the event win and to earn an exemption in the 2024 US Amateur Championship.

    Grieve and Marcus Smith paced the field with a 279 total over four rounds after playing 36 holes on the final day of the tournament on Thursday, July 18.

    Grieve fought off some late round nerves to claim the tournament crown.

    “I was pretty nervous in that playoff, not gonna lie,” Grieve said.

    “Those one footers start to look like 6-7 foot snappers, and so I’m just thrilled to be able to pull it off and stay steady the whole day.”
