Miles Russell of Jacksonville Beach will take on Oklahoma senior Ryder Cowan in the first round of the U.S. Amateur match play on Aug. 12 at the Merion Country Club in Ardmore, Pa.
The two will tee off at 1:50 p.m.
Russell tied for fifth in the 36-hole stroke player qualifier on Aug. 11 and is the sixth seed in match play. Cowan birdied the first playoff hole, the par-3 13th, to join 10 other players who had to battle in a 16-for-11 playoff for the final spots in the 64-player field for match play.
Russell, 17 and a verbal commit to Florida State in 2027, has already reached the championship match of the U.S. Junior Amateur and the semifinals of the Western Amateur this summer.
Russell was the co-medalist at the U.S. Junior Amateur and the medalist at the Western Amateur. He breezed through five matches in the U.S. Junior at Saucon Valley before losing to Noah Maclauchlan and fell to Jay Leng in the Western Amateur semifinals.
