The playoff has concluded after just two holes. Matthew Lowe of Farmingdale, N.Y., and Blake Tooland of Phoenix, Ariz., each made 4s, while Miller Capps of Denver, N.C., carded a 5. That eliminated Rylee Reinertson, who had a double bogey in the first group.

The first match is set to tee off at 8:30 a.m. PDT on Wednesday.

Sean Busch of West Lafayette, Ind., punched his ticket to match play with a 4 on the par-4 17th hole, the second playoff hole. Rylee Reinertson of Gibbon, Neb., could have played his way out of the competition with a double-bogey 6, while Brian Bullington of Frankfort, Ill., made a 5. If the final three players make 5 or better, the draw will be officially set.

One player was eliminated from the playoff in the final foursome to play No. 16, as Seth Sweet of Madison, Maine made a double-bogey 5. Adam Bonner of Ripon, Calif., and Christopher Hickman of Centreville, Md., each advanced into the draw with 3s, while Matthew Lowe of Farmingdale, N.Y., had a bogey and will move on to the par-4 17th hole. We are now down to six players vying for five spots.

We have our first three players into the draw from the 12-for-10 playoff. Andy Olsen of San Antonio Olsen, Hayden Shieh of Fremont, Calif., and George Cunningham of Litchfield Park, Ariz., each made 3s on the 184-yard, par-3 16th hole. Miller Capps of Denver, N.C., registered a 4 and will have to play another hole to get into the draw.

The first four players have completed the first playoff hole and all four made bogey-4s on the 184-yard par-3. The foursome included Brian Bullington of Frankfort, Ill., Rylee Reinertson of Gibbon, Neb., Sean Busch of West Lafayette, Ind., and Blake Toolan of Phoenix, Ariz.
