Palmer Jackson and Sean Knapp fell short of advancing to the United States Golf Association’s Amateur Match Play round of 64.
Tough Day 1 performances were too much for them to overcome Tuesday at Bandon Dunes Resort in Oregon.
Jackson, a Murrysville native and Notre Dame sophomore, followed 9-over-par 80 with a solid 4-over 75 in Round 2.
Knapp, an Oakmont resident, shot 2-over par 73 during Round 2 and finished 12-over. He was 10-over on Day 1. Knapp had two birdies.
The tournament will continue through Sunday at Bandon Dunes.
