Paul Mitzel and Ryan O'Rear's 2025 US Mid-Amateur match was nothing short of thrilling before it ended in cruel circumstances on Monday.

The pair had each won seven holes during regulation, all but two of which were via birdie, and had tied the other four at Troon Country Club in Scottsdale, Arizona during their Round of 64 contest.

With extra holes required, it was advantage Mitzel on the 19th after the Seattle-born golfer found the putting surface in two while Georgetown, Texas' O'Rear was in a green-side bunker. You may like
