BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. -- Michigan sophomore Nick Carlson advanced to the U.S. Amateur semifinals Friday in an unlikely hometown run at Oakland Hills.Carlson, from Hamilton, Michigan, beat Illinois junior Dylan Meyer of Evansville, Indiana, 3 and 1, taking the lead with a birdie chip-in on the par-4 14th that he celebrated with a running, double fight pump.I drew an amazing lie, Carlson said. It was perfect. Probably the best one Ive had all week. And then I bumped a 9-iron into the hill. I hit the leaf I was trying to hit and it took another hop and just kind of trickled right on down.Wearing a Wolverines outfit, the 19-year-old Carlson won the par-4 15th with a birdie, and ended the match with a par victory on the par-3 17th on the Donald Ross-designed South Course that Ben Hogan dubbed The Monster in his 1951 U.S. Open victory.Carlson will face 20-year-old Australian Curtis Luck, a 2-up winner over Pepperdine sophomore Sahith Theegala of Chino Hills, California.Its always good to have a crowd, Luck said about the home support for Carlson. Im looking forward to it. Well just see. Hopefully, maybe Ill have to give them something to clap about even if they dont want to. Thats how it is. I understand, being from Michigan, hes going to have a big following. And its great to see hes got such a massive crowd supporting him this week.Carlson is 1,981st in the world amateur ranking.
