(Editor's note: Golfweek's Cameron Jourdan is following all the action from Olympic Club. Check out his updates from the second round here.) SAN FRANCISCO — Stroke play has concluded at the 2025 U.S. Amateur, which means the match play bracket is nearly set. The week started with 312 players competing at The Olympic Club's Lake Course and Ocean Course, and now the top 64 will battle it out for the Havemeyer Trophy, beginning Wednesday in match play. Oklahoma State rising junior Preston Stout earned medalist honors after a stellar 65 on Tuesday. The cut came at 3-over 143 after stroke play, with a 20-for-17 playoff coming Wednesday morning to finalize the bracket. Here's a look at the notables who are heading home after stroke play at the U.S. Amateur: Notables to miss cut in the 2025 U.S. Amateur The U.S. Junior Amateur champion shot consecutive 73s and wasn't able to follow up on his successful run at Trinity Forest. The Olympic Club champ and local kid was inside the cut line with a few holes to play, but too many mistakes down the stretch took him out of contention. The U.S. Amateur Four-Ball champion and U.S. National Team member opened in 76 on Monday and wasn't able to claw back Tuesday. The winner of the Elite Amateur Golf Series this summer opened with a 75 and couldn't recover Tuesday. The defending U.S. Amateur runner-up is going home after consecutive rounds of 74. Simpson, who won the Trans-Mississippi Amateur this summer, had Walker Cup aspirations this week but a 76 on Tuesday prevented him from making match play. Williams came into the weeks with dreams of earning a Walker Cup pick, but a 77 on Monday took away his chances to make the weekend. The world's 10th-ranked amateur shot 75 on Monday but was unable to fight back Tuesday on the Ocean Course. Massa made the quarterfinals last year but the 37-year-old Mid-Am's week comes to an end after stroke play. The reigning NCAA champion shot rounds of 78-74 and had only four birdies in 36 holes. The British Amateur champion is heading home after going 9 over on his final eight holes

Oklahoma State's Preston Stout runs away with title at 2025 Northeast Amateur
Preston Stout had a dominating victory Saturday to capture the 2025 Northeast Amateur title at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rhode Island. Stout, a rising junior at Oklahoma State, vaulted into contention during Thursday's second round, tying the course record with an 8-under 61. He then slammed the door Saturday, shooting 4-under 65 in the final round, finishing at 9 under for the week and winning by eight shots over 16-year-old Miles Russell, the only other player to finish under par. With the win, Stout officially locked up his spot in the 2025 U.S. Amateur at Olympic Club in San Francisco, but there was hardly any doubt. He's ranked eighth in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. But the win did likely help solidify his spot on the U.S. Walker Cup team, set for Sept. 6-7 at Cypress Point in California. Stout was far from the only Oklahoma State golfer to collect a big win Saturday. Teammate Ethan Fang became the first American in 18 years to win the British Amateur. Fang, No. 7 in WAGR, and Stout both helped the Cowboys win their 12th national championship last month at Omni La Costa, and now they're off to great starts this summer and have busy schedules ahead. The Northeast Amateur is the second event of the Elite Amateur Golf Series. Tyler Watts had a record win last week at the Sunnehanna Amateur. Up next is the North & South Amateur, contested at Pinehurst, set for June 22-28.
