Jackson Buchanan, Josele Ballester highlight 2024 U.S. Amateur semifinalists

CHASKA, Minn. — Come Sunday, there’s going to be an American and a Spaniard matching up in the final.

No, it’s not the Ryder Cup (yet) at Hazeltine National Golf Club, but the 2024 U.S. Amateur. And regardless of what happens Saturday, the matchup is going to be Ryder Cup-esque, featuring an American and a Spaniard. And with a bit of history, as it will be the first time a player from Spain has played in the final of the U.S. Amateur.

Who that will be, however, will be determined Saturday.

The quarterfinals are in the books after a stellar Friday, and the stage is set for Saturday’s semifinals. On one side of the bracket will be two Big 10 collegiate players, and on the other are two Spaniards that are longtime friends.
