CONWAY, Ark. – Central Arkansas men's golfer Palmer McSpadden is set to begin his journey at the U.S. Amateur on Monday at the Longue Vue Club.
 
McSpadden is one of 312 golfers in the field that will take part in the U.S. Amateur. The tournament will be played at two courses, the Oakmont Country Club and the Longue Vue Club. McSpadden qualified for the tournament back in July when he won the qualifying event at Hot Springs Village.
 
The tournament begins on Monday and concludes on Sunday, Aug. 15, as golfers take to the courses at 6:30 a.m. CST. The field will compete in two rounds of stroke play on Monday and Tuesday to narrow the field down to 64. The top 64 individuals will advance to the match play stage on Wednesday and the winner of each matchup will advance to the next round. The champion will be decided on Sunday, with a 36-hole championship match.
 
Live coverage of the U.S. Amateur will take place from Wednesday to Sunday on NBC, Golf Channel, and Peacock.
