US Amateur Update: Horschel medalist with 11-under 60 in first round

In case you missed it, because I certainly did. Billy Horschel set a USGA scoring record on Monday at the US Amateur. (Usamateur.org's coverage here.)

Horschel, a sophomore at the University of Florida, posted an 11-under par 60, breaking Loren Roberts' and Christina Kim's USGA scoring record by 2 shots.

Something quite impressive, especially after he was medalist after firing a 6-over par 78 on the more difficult course, Hazeltine National Golf Club. (Coverage here).

Matchplay starts today. And, I do have to give props to my hometown boy John Hahn, Jr., a recent Hudson (Ohio) High School grad and a to-be freshman at Kent State for qualifying for matchplay.
