Jacob and Mark Phillips will take a two-shot lead in the Championship Division into the final round of the AmateurGolf.com 2024 Two Man Links and Father & Son at Pacific Dunes at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Ore.

The duo has shot rounds of 65-70-68 to get to 12-under, two shots better than Preston Fleener and Arthur Blackman, the 36-hole leaders. Blackman and Fleenor are in solo second place at 10-under.

Scott Pitts and Tim Lovell are in solo third place at 7-under and five shots back of the lead.

Jacob and Mark Phillips also lead the Father & Son Division by eleven shots over Michael and Nick Williams.

2023 Senior Division champions Randall Conn and Johan Andersson took the commanding lead in their title defense in the second round and continued it in the third round, leading by eight shots heading into the final round.

Also, a 1 in 17 million chance event happened during the second round of the tournament.

Len Krahn and Jarod Mckay were playing with Ross and Steve Humphreys in the second round when the group got to the par-3 No. 11. Mckay stepped up to the tee and made a hole-in-one, and once the group settled down, Ross Humphreys did the exact same thing.

Established in 2001, the AmateurGolf.com Tour, presented by Callaway, hosts competitive amateur golf events at amazing courses across the country. Past winners of AGC tour events include PGA Tour players, top-ranked collegiate players, and nationally ranked senior and mid-am players.

AmateurGolf.com events offer divisions for male, female, senior, mid-am, and net players.
In 2002, AmateurGolf.com visited Bandon Dunes for the first time with 24 players. We have come back every year with average fields of 80 players (and, most recent years, selling out early due to the addition of a very popular Father/Son division).

The host courses, Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald, and the Sheep Ranch, have firmly rooted themselves as some of the top courses in the world; however, they are running out of wall space in the Lodge to display the course and destination awards that keep accumulating.
