At 6-under 137, he was tied with 19-year-old Daniel Hillier of New Zealand.It would mean a lot, especially after being medalist at the Western Am, Hammer said afterward. Its pretty special.No stroke-play medalist has prevailed in the 64-man match-play bracket since Ryan Moore in 2004. Before that, Tiger Woods (1996) was the most recent medalist champion.

On the strength of his Western Am title, Hammer, 18, has soared to No. 18 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. He credited his work with swing coach Cameron McCormick and mental coach Bob Rotella.Just really started controlling my iron shots really well, said Hammer, who has worked with McCormick since 2015, when he qualified for the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay as a 15-year-old.Distance control with my wedges and all my iron shots, playing different shots, has become really a strength in my game. Ive really turned the putter on this year, and Im seeing the lines and matching the line with the speed really well. I think thats been the key to my summer.A two-time New Zealand Amateur champion, Hillier is ranked 27th in the world. He said that, entering the tournament, he would have been pleased just to make it to match play.But to come out on top, its amazing, Hillier said. Cole is a really good golfer and has been playing well lately. So, yeah, Im in good company.
