Hokie ClubHokie junior Drew Weaver completed his weather-delayed first round, took a short break and went out Tuesday morning and shot a second round one-under-par 69 on the second day of the U.S. Amateur at the Olympic Club. Weaver finishes stroke play with a 141, which should be more than sufficient to advance into match play starting Wednesday.
Several golfers, including Hokie teammate Marshall Bailey, were unable to finish their rounds on Tuesday and will finish up on Wednesday morning. Bailey, who shot an 85 on Monday, likely will not be among the top 64 to advance to match play.
This is the second consecutive year that Weaver has advanced into match play at the U.S. Amateur. Pairings for match play will be announced after the completion of the second round Wednesday morning.
Weaver is currently listed in 11th place in stroke play. He has posted no score higher than a five on any hole during play to date. His one-over-par 141 consists of nine birdies, 10 bogeys and 17 pars. He is playing the par 3s and par 5s even-par for the first two rounds.
