An into round of 32 at U.S. Amateur

Ben An is heading to the second round in defense of his U.S. Amateur title.

The Bradenton golfer is attending the University of Cal-Berkeley this fall as a freshman, but he's at University Place, Wash. for the site of this year's national amateur.

An dispatched David Dannelly of Clemson, S.C. 3 and 2 in a round of 64 match Wednesday at the Chambers Bay Golf Course.

An shot the equivalent of 2-under before ending the match on the 16th hole.
