The Quarterfinals of the Senior Scratch Four-Ball Bracket are now officially set. The eight teams remaining in the Senior and Championship Brackets will have until Sunday, July 14, to complete their matches and claim their spot in the Semifinals. The #1 overall seed of Scott Winckowski and Mike Belacic 2&1 fell in the Round of 16 to Jon Nagy and Nick Bukovecky, who came off a Round of 32 match that went seven extra holes. There was only one other upset in the Round of 16, the 10th overall seed Mark Ciccarello and Walter Robinson, so we will see six of the top eight seeds in the Quarterfinals.
