Rupert Owen-Browne and Jonathan Larken, two of the top hitters in the game, met Sunday morning in the US Amateur final. The ball was cracking off the walls and sceaming down the sides as both players were not holding back. Owen-Browne jumped out to a quick lead in game one with great shot selection, keeping Larken moving and forcing errors. Game one went to Owen-Browne 15/5. Game two was the best of the match. Owen-Browne again jumped ahead early only to lose the lead later. His power was too much finally and he managed a 16/13 victory. Game three went Larken’s way. He, as Owen-Browne had done before, staked himself to a comfortable lead only to see it dwindle. Larken managed to hold on and claim the win at 15/13.

Up now 2 games to 1, Owen-Browne stormed back and grabbed a huge lead in game 4, managed to hold it and win 15/13, taking the Championship 3 games to 1. No one in the gallery was disappointed with the play during the match. There were some great rallies but Owen-Browne was too strong this day and came out the victor.
