SMU senior Bryson DeChambeau advanced to the US Amateur final, putting him a victory away from becoming the fifth player to win the tournament and NCAA individual title in the same year.
DeChambeau, from Clovis, California, beat Southern California sophomore Sean Crocker 4 and 3 in the semi-finals Saturday at Olympia Fields.
He will face Virginia junior Derek Bard of New Hartford, New York, in the 36-hole final Sunday. Bard topped Japan's Kenta Konishi 3 and 2.
Jack Nicklaus (1961), Phil Mickelson (1990), Tiger Woods (1996) and Ryan Moore (2004) are the only players to sweep the NCAA and Amateur titles in a season.
