Al Capone once shot himself in the left leg when he played one of his regular money matches at Olympia Fields near Chicago. But Ireland’s trio of US Amateur Championship contenders merely gave themselves flesh wounds in the foot before hobbling away from the first qualifying round with their hopes intact of making the too 64 who will go into matchplay combat on Wednesday.

The Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup captain, Nigel Edwards, was out and about to see some details of a one over 71 for Greystones’ Paul Dunne and two over 72s for West Waterford’s Maynooth University graduate Gary Hurley and Ardglass’ Cormac Sharvin even if they did not result in calls from the local press to hold the back page.

With both Walker Cup sides to be announced next Monday — Sharvin, Dunne and Hurley hope to be named in the 10-man side alongside Gavin Moynihan and Jack Hume who are resting after retaining the Home Internationals — the Chicago trio’s first task is to complete the job over the slightly easier South Course.

‘Slightly’ is the operation word. Twelve of the top 17 on the leaderboard shot their rounds what is the South Matt NeSmith’s five under 65 there leaving him one clear of 66s on the North by Australian star Ryan Ruffles and Japan’s Kenta Konishi and on the South by Americans Lee McCoy and Nathan Yankovich.

Dunne’s 71 left him T49 and the best of the Europeans as he head to the South with the rest of the Irish contingent.

With the top 64 on one-over or better, Hurley and Sharvin have some work to do. The good news is that thee Irish and England’s Sam Horsfield (72, SC) are the leading Europeans ahead of Scotland’s Grant Forrest (74 NC) and Spain’s John Rahm (74 NC); Sweden’s Lytham Trophy winner Marcus Kinhult 75 NC), England’s Tom Bayliss (75 NC) and Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson (78 SC).

“It’s not a bad start considering I made a mess of my first hole,” said Hurley, whose runner up finish in the European Amateur Championship in Slovakia recently all but secured his Walker Cup place alongside Moynihan and Open hero Dunne, who are considered racing certainties for Royal Lytham and St Annes. 

Referring to Slovakia, Hurley said: “I was happy. Disappointed but happy. I had a little chance coming in and didn’t take it. But yes, I needed to play well and I did. I have been playing really well but I pulled out of the Brabazon because I needed a break. 

“It might not a seemed ideal timing but I needed to get my head right. I was very tired with travelling to Argentina, South Africa, Spain and getting my exams in between all that, which I was delighted with. 

“Walker Cup? The selectors know my game at this stage but it was nice to produce a performance in a tournament when I really needed to. Coming down to the last two events, it was nice to get one in.”

Hurley’s two over 72 could have been a couple lower quite easily even if he did follow a birdie from eight feet at the fifth (his 14th) with a closing bogey. 

“It is not a bad start considering  I made a mess of my first hole, taking double,” Hurley said. “I drove behind a tree and had no shot, had to chop out and then flew the green. 

He birdied the 13th and 14th but then double bogeyed the par-three 15th, pushing his tee shot a hair to leave himself short sided in the same spot from where Dunne had extricated himself with a brilliant flop shot and eight footer putt an hour earlier.

“I got too cute and took two chips,” he said of his second double. Other than that, he was happy with his day.

Sharvin confessed that he had zero confidence with his speed or feel on the slick greens early on and when he slipped to four over after seven holes, the Brabazon Trophy winner had just one thought.

“I was thinking, don’t shoot 80, so I am really happy with how I fought back,” said Sharvin, who birdied the second and eighth and missed good chances at the seventh and ninth on his back nine. “If someone had offered me a 72 after seven I’d have bitten their arm off.”

Olympia Fields was bathed in sunshine for much of the day and was lush and receptive, especially after some later afternoon showers that were followed in the evening by thunderstorms.

Sharvin missed a short par putt at the 11th and bogeyed the 14th (missed green), 15th (three putt) and 16th (went long and played a poor bladed wedge),

“I was really uncomfortable with the putter at the start of the round,” said Sharvin, who made a great recovery on the back nine and then headed to the practice putting green.

After a birdie from four feet at the second, he missed  15 footer at the third, hit the flag with his up and down at the fourth and then holed an eight footer for another save at the fifth.

He had to settle for a two-putt par five at the sixth but he could have birdied all three holes coming in but had to settle for one par-birdie-par when leaving putt on the edge at the seventh and ninth.

“I played the last three unbelievably well,” Sharvin said.

Open Championship hero Dunne was also forced to dig deep as he came back from two over after nine to post a one over 71

“I wasn’t hitting fairways at the start but then I started hitting it well in the middle and gave myself some chances,” said Dunne, who got up and down from 80 yards for par at his final hole. 

Life has changed somewhat for the Greystones man since he led going into the final round at St Andrews and hit TV screens worldwide, not to mention the chat show circuit in Ireland.

 “I get recognised a bit more but nothing crazy, just a couple of pictures here and there,’ he said with a grin. “As long as people are recognising me in the street in the future I think I’ll be doing alright.”

As for his round, it was scrappy in parts but the final result was satisfying enough.

“I got off to a bit of a dodgy start but played nicely after that,” Dunne said “I had a could of birdie looks coming in and didn’t capitalise but I made a good par at the last by getting up and down from 80 yards. 

“I wasn’t hitting fairways at the start but then I started hitting it well in the middle and gave myself some chances. The fairways were so narrow — the driving distance you hit it into, the bunkers just come in there and back out and the holes are too long to hit three wood on.”

He cited the 18th and ninth — two long par fours.

“The gap is 15 yards and if you hit it in the bunkers you are hitting nine iron out and struggling for par because they are both 490 yards.”

Dunne parred the 10th but bogeyed the 11th off a pulled tee shot and dropped another shot at the narrow 14th where he was in the trees left and the front right greenside trap.

He could have dropped another shot at the par-three 15th whee he pushed his approach and left himself a very difficult recovery but played a glorious flop shot to eight feet and made the putt.

An eight iron to 20 feet at the 16th set up a birdie a birdie and while he missed a chance inside 10 feet after a piercing hybrid to the 249-yard 17th, he had to settle for five at the 18th where his drive was snatched by the voracious left fairway trap.

“I was only 10 yards off line from where I was aiming.” he said. 

His back nine was a good one, however, and it keeps his chances very much alive.

“I hit a big drive down one and hit the green in two,which is two good digs it’s 620,” he said . “Birdied there and got up and down 2 for par after driving into the bunker.”

A three wood into the water led to a bogey at the fifth but he birdie the par-five sixth by getting ip and down from 50 yards, missed 20 footers on the seventh and eighth and then made that fine par save on the ninth.

“Like every event, I’ll just take it one step at a time  and try to get through he strokeplay. After that it’s match by match and it’s a lottery — you have to win every match,

Apart from team success, his only previous positive in matchplay came in the Irish Close in 2013. when he lost to Sharvin in the final at Connemara.

“No wins but hopefully we can change that,” he said.

Australian Ryan Ruffels, who shot a 66 on the North Course, was impressed by Dunne's Open performance.

"We were saying, what would you prefer, tied 30th but leading after 54, or a Top 12 finish starting in the pack? Paul's performance was amazing and I'm sure it's something that will give him confidence," he said, adding with a laugh,"He's certainly not one of the guys I want to run into in matchplay."

As for the Walker Cup team, like the rest of the Irish players, he knows that it will be picked based on the entire season and possibly last year too with the skipper looking for points-winners, good putters and players who are proud to play for the country.

If that’s the case, Ireland has a case for six with the improving Dermot McElroy unlucky he’s not getting more mentions. 

Either way, a big GB&I week in Chicago would be a boost.

The USGA takes up the story of the rest of the day:

NeSmith, 21, of North Augusta, S.C., shot a 5-under-par 65 to lead the field of 312 competitors in the 2015 U.S. Amateur Championship after the first day of stroke play at Olympia Fields Country Club.

NeSmith, a senior at the University of South Carolina who won The Players Amateur earlier this year, posted six birdies, including four in his first nine holes, and one bogey on the South Course for a one-stroke lead over four players.

“I got off to a good start, birdied 11,” said NeSmith, a third-team All-America selection in 2015 who won the Southeastern Conference Championship. “It was a birdie pin and I hit a good tee shot, so I kind of expected that after being in the middle of the fairway. And then hit it really close on 13 and got on a little bit of a run.”

NeSmith, who qualified for the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay and is playing in his third consecutive U.S. Amateur, leads a group of four players at 66: Lee McCoy, 21, of Athens, Ga., a 2015 United States Walker Cup Team member, and Nathan Yankovich, 21, of Blacklick, Ohio, who both played the South Course; and Ryan Ruffels, 17, of Australia, and Kenta Kinoshi, 21, of Japan, who played the North Course, host to two previous U.S. Opens in 1928 and 2003.

“I think it helped playing the Open,” said NeSmith. “It kind of made this not as big – I mean, big, but I’m not as nervous, I’m not as fidgety. I was able to relax a little bit more and play a great round of golf.”

The 2015 U.S. Amateur Championship consists of 36 holes of stroke play (18 holes on each of Olympia Fields’ North and South Courses), followed by six rounds of match play (all on the North Course), with the championship scheduled to conclude with a 36-hole final on Sunday.

Ruffels, the son of two tennis professionals who played with 2015 PGA champion and fellow Aussie Jason Day in a practice round for the 2015 Canadian Open, admitted that his putting positioned him for his four-birdie, no-bogey round.

“I made a lot of 10- to 12-foot par putts, which is big just to keep a bit of momentum going,” said Ruffels, whose birdie putts ranged from 10 to 35 feet. “Around the North Course, which is so hard, if you drop [a shot], it's very easy to drop one on the next, too, and it kind of just rolls on from there. So the more you can save, the better.”

McCoy, who qualified for the 2015 U.S. Open and was co-medalist at the 2014 U.S. Amateur, tallied six birdies and two bogeys.

“I was hitting it about as crooked as I ever have, and honestly it was one of the best scoring nines I've ever had,” said McCoy, a first-team All-American at the University of Georgia, of his outward nine of 35. “I left a shot in a bunker on 1 and got up-and-down for bogey, and then, I was hitting it everywhere and just scraping pars like I've hardly ever done before. That was really what kept my momentum going. If I would have shot 3 or 4 over on the front, I don't think I would have gone and made as many birdies on the back. It was definitely a good mental test today.”

Trailing NeSmith by two at 3-under-par 67 are David Oraee, of Greeley, Colo.; Brett Coletta, of Australia; and Sepp Straka of Valdosta, Ga.

Among nine players at 2-under 68 are 2014 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Scott Harvey, of Greensboro, N.C.; Nick Hardy, a University of Illinois player from Northbrook, Ill.; and Robby Shelton, a first-team All-American at the University of Alabama from Wilmer, Ala., who finished third in the PGA Tour’s Barbasol Championship in July, the first top-three Tour finish for an amateur since Phil Mickelson in 1991.

The U.S. Amateur is one of 13 national championships conducted annually by the United States Golf Association, 10 of which are strictly for amateurs.

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill.  – Results from Monday’s first round of stroke play at the 2015 U.S. Amateur Championship, played at 7,234-yard, par-70 North (NC) and the 7,045-yard, par-70 South (SC) Courses at Olympia Fields Country Club.
