Jordan Spieth from Dallas, Texas, joint runner-up in the recent R&A Junior Open at Hesketh, lost in the semi-finals of the US Junior Amateur (boys) championship at Shoal Creek golf course, Alabama.
Spieth, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, who has his 15th birthday tomorrow and has a +3 handicap, lost by one hole to Evan Beck from Virginia Beach, Virgina.
Beck will face fellow 17-year-old Cameron Peck, of Olympia, Washington in today's 36-hole final at the 7,251-yard, par-72 course.
Peck trailed Dominic Bozzelli, of Pittsford, New York State by two holes with two to play in their semi-final. But he birdied No. 17 and took advantage of Bozzelli's bogey on 18 to pull even. Peck won on the third extra hole when Bozzelli bogeyed.
Spieth won his morning quarter-final over Andrew Yun, of Chandler, Arizona, 3 and 2.
Beck, who was an alternate for the starting field of 156, rallied to beat Ernesto Marin, 17, of Miami, 1 up with a winning par on the final hole.
