Jackson Herrington advances to 125th U.S. Amateur Championship finals

Tennessee's Jackson Herrington advanced to the finals of the 2025 U.S. Amateur Championship with a victory at Olympic Golf Course in San Francisco, California. Herrington will play high school junior Mason Howell, a 2016 Georgia commit, in the 36-hole championship match Sunday at 1:15 p.m. EDT. Herrington and Howell will play 18 holes before breaking for lunch. They will return to the course for 18 holes. Herrington, who reached the Round of 32 of the U.S. Amateur Championship last year at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota, made a hole-in-one in his first match. In Saturday's semifinal, Herrington defeated Niall Shiels Donegan, a junior who will attend North Carolina this year after playing two seasons at Northwestern, one up. Howell, a junior at Brockwood High School in Snellville, Georgia, defeated Oklahoma State junior Eric Lee 3 and 2 in Saturday's other semifinal. By advancing to a championship match, Herrington and Howell have received an exemption to the 2026 US Open. Both may also receive an invitation to the 2026 Masters. The U.S. Amateur champion will also qualify for the U.S. Walker Cup Team.
