The semi-final matches are set in the 99th Crump Cup. The top seed in the Championship flight, Brad Tilley, will face off against Andrew Price. In the other semi-final, last year’s champion, Stewart Hagestad, will play 2022 runner-up Jimmy Ellis.

Hagestad won the rain-shortened event last season, taking down Stephen Behr, the 2022 winner, in a one-hole playoff after both men shot 73 on Saturday in the one-round sprint to the Cup.

ABOUT THE Crump Cup

The George A. Crump Memorial Tournament -- named for the hotelier and course architect most famous for building Pine Valley -- is arguably the premier mid- amateur event in the United States. The invitational field is made of of top players from around the United States and the UK. The format for the four days is two rounds of stroke play qualifying, followed by four rounds of match play. Players are flighted according to their qualifying position, and a separate Senior flight includes three of those flights. Jay Sigel has won the event the most times, with nine victories between 1975 and 1993.

Normally, the public is invited to attend the Sunday final matches but that tradition has been suspended.
