MAPLE GROVE, Minn. -- Danny Green of Jackson, Tenn., shot a 68 Tuesday to set a 36-hole stroke-play record of 13-under 131 and win medalist honors in the U.S. Amateur Public Links tournament.
Green, the 1999 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion and runner-up at the Public Links in 2001, had a tournament record of 9-under 63 Monday. His two-round total was a shot better than the record shared by three Public Links players as well as four others in USGA competition.
Ryan Moore of Puyallup, Wash., the 2002 champion and 2004 NCAA individual champ, finished medal play one stroke back after a 67 Tuesday.
Eleven players met in playoff for the final eight places in the 64-player match-play field. They were tied at 148.
The first round of match play begins Wednesday, with the 36-hole championship match between the top two players set for Saturday.
