SE: Kansas Am Champ Schultz Prepared for Spotlight at U.S. Amateur

He was coming down the stretch at the Kansas Amateur, a few holes away from a championship, and Cooper Schultz had one thought on his mind: don't let him win with par. 

The "him" was fellow finalist Brock Polhill. The prize was the 111th Kansas Amateur Championship. A tune up of sports for the U.S. Amateur, held at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania beginning on Monday.

"You've got to force him to make birdies to beat you," Schultz said. "If he birdies out and he beats me, good for him and he deserves it. But I can't hand holes to him."
