Marc Dull played solo Tuesday morning and made USGA history, becoming the first player to win a U.S. Amateur Four-Ball match as a single.
Dull’s partner, Chip Brooke, had to leave Plainfield Country Club in Westfield, New Jersey, to attend his daughter’s graduation. That left Dull to face John Ramsey and Chadd Slutzky by his lonesome in the Round of 16, and he dispatched the pair, 2 and 1.

Dull and Brooke made the semis in 2017 and the final in 2018, where they were runner-up. Brooke would have rejoined his partner in Wednesday’s semifinals if Dull could have pulled off another upset — and it almost happened.
Dull, from Lakeland, Florida, was tied through 17 holes against Carson Looney and Hunter Powell, but the duo captured the 18th to win the match, 1 up.
