John Daly II made it through a long day in San Francisco to book his place in the quarter-finals of the 2025 US Amateur Championship , where World No.1 Jackson Koivun was knocked out in the last 32.
Thursday at the Olympic Club saw both the last 32 and then the round of 16 take place so it was a bumper day of competition for the best amateur golfers around.
And Daly , the son of two-time Major champion John Daly, made it through to Friday's last eight thanks to beating Nate Smith 2&1 and then Daniel Bennett 3&2. You may like
