YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Both current and former members of the Eastern Michigan University men's golf team were busy week on the links as the calendar officially turned from spring to summer. Nick Carbary (Kalamazoo, Mich.-Mattawan), Marty Jeppesen (Saline, Mich.-Saline) and Brandon Lemons (Portage, Mich.-Portage Central) were in action at the Michigan Amateur Championship, June 22-26.
Carbary finished tied for second place with rounds of 71 and 72 for a total of 143 to advance to the match play round at the Michigan Am on Oakhurst Golf and Country Club in Clarkston. Jeppesen Lemons tied for fifth with a 144 (73-71) and Lemons carded rounds of for a 151 (77-74) in 27th place.
In the match play round, the third-seeded Carbary defeated No. 62 David Bartnick, 4&3, and No. 51 Joe Kosanke, 4&3. Then in the round of 16, Carbary knocked off No. 14 Eric Spencer, 2-up, to send the Kalamazoo, Mich. native onto play No. 22 Aaron Peterson.
Jeppesen lost to No. 49 Garrett Simons, 3&2, in the opening round while Lemons fell to No. 38 Chris Cunnigham, 2-up.
With 156 of the state's best amateur players the competition is sure to be heated over the five days. Each player must qualify (unless otherwise exempt) at one of 12 sites held throughout the state. Michigan Amateur Championship competitors will play 18 holes of stroke play Tuesday, June 22, and Wednesday, June 23, to determine the 64 player match play field.
The player who has the lowest 36-hole total will have earned medalist honors and have his name engraved on the Charles Kocsis Medalist Trophy. The players tend to have mixed feelings about earning medalist honors, as only seven medalists have gone on to win the championship.
The Michigan Amateur is one of the most grueling tests in Michigan tournament golf. If a player can make a successful run at the Championship they may play somewhere in the neighborhood of 144 holes to earn the deserving title of Michigan Amateur Champion and get their name on the Staghorn Trophy.
Last year's champion, Tom Werkmeister of Grand Rapids defeated Matt Thompson 3&2 in the final to earn his title at Spring Meadows. Werkmeister went on to be named the GAM Player of the Year in 2009.
