Windsor, Connecticut (August 12, 2025) – A trio of players earned spots in the field of the 44th U.S. Mid-Amateur set to be played from September 13-18 at Troon Country Club in Arizona.
On a sunny and warm day at Keney Park Golf Course, Damon Lusk and Maxwell Campion shared medalist honors at 5-under while Ronald Kelton earned the final spot with a 4-under 66.
Damon Lusk (Reading, MA) put together a flawless round on his way to sharing medalist honors. Following five straight pars to begin his day, Lusk birdied the 152-yard par-3 sixth to move into the red. Still 1-under, Lusk found another birdie on No. 10 and then caught fire with three birdies in a row from Nos. 12-14. Four pars followed to conclude his 5-under 65 day.
Maxwell Campion (Boston, MA) earned his spot in the 44th U.S. Mid-Amateur thanks to a seven birdie, two bogey day. The former Harvard golfer came out the gates hot firing a bogey-free 4-under 31 front nine.
On the back nine, it was a bit more of a struggle but a late birdie on No. 16 followed by a pair of pars solidified Campion’s spot.
The final qualifying spot went to Ronald Kelton (Cape Elizabeth, ME). Kelton, the 2022 Maine Mid-Amateur champion, recorded six birdies and just two bogeys on his way to earning a spot in the U.S. Mid-Amateur. His birdies came on Nos. 3, 4, 6, 12, 15, and 17.
Concluding the day was a 3-for-2 playoff for the two alternate spots. The playoff saw Carlos Furlotti (Argentina) earn the first alternate spot and Ryan Willingham (Greenwich, CT) take the second alternate spot.
