GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Georgia Tech's John-Tyler Griffin, playing in his home state, secured medalist honors in the U.S. Amateur Public Links on Tuesday by shooting a 4-under 67.
Griffin, from Wilson, was 9-under 133 after two rounds of stroke play at Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center. That gave him a one-stroke edge on three others and the top seed for match play.
First-round leader Derek Ernst, a UNLV golfer, shot a 69 to finish at 8 under. Augusta State's Patrick Reed and Fresno State's Bhavik Patel also finished stroke play at 8 under.
Golf Digest Associate Editor Max Adler will miss out on match play, following up an opening 76 with a second-round 77.
Play was suspended because of a dangerous weather warning with 18 players on the course. They will complete the round Wednesday. Match play for the top 64 qualifiers starts later in the day.
