Illinois senior Jackson Buchanan finally got a breather Friday in the U.S. Amateur, needing only 15 holes and never trailing for a 4-and-3 victory over Jacob Modleski that sent him to the semifinals at Hazeltine National. The semifinals feature a pair of Americans — Buchanan will face Iowa senior Noah Kent — and two Spaniards after Jose Luis Ballester and Luis Masaveu won their quarterfinal matches. Buchanan began match play by going the distance for a 2-up win over Preston Summerhays, the No. 6 player in the world amateur ranking.
