RYE BEACH, N.H. -- The 119th New Hampshire Amateur is down to eight remaining contenders.
A sunny Thursday at Abenaqui Country Club, just a couple long irons from the ocean, produced a little bit of everything – monster comebacks, an 18th-hole finish for the ages, the end of a three-peat bid and a collection of near-misses.
The quarterfinals and semifinals will be played Friday, with the 36-hole championship match slated for Saturday.
Here are the top takeaways from Thursday’s play.
