SPRINGFIELD, N.J.- Auburn junior All-American Kevin Haefner
lost 3-and-1 to Bob Gregorski of Cato, Wis., in the U.S. Amateur first
round at the par-70, 7116-yard Baltusrol Golf Club Lower Course in
Springfield, N.J., Wednesday.
The Pittsford, N.Y., native qualified for match play with a two
round 1-over total of 142 while Gregorski qualified with a 4-over 145
total. Gregorski moves on to play Nick Watney of Dixon, Calif., a
4-and-3 winner over D.J. Trahan.
"This was a great experience for me," Haefner said. "I
just wasn't at my best. I was just never able to get into a groove
for whatever reason. I am looking forward to getting back to Auburn and
getting the season started."
