UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. (Aug. 29, 2010) -- For a short while, David Chung held the upper hand on Peter Uihlein in match play. Not anymore. That's because Uihlein, celebrating his 21st birthday won the 110th U.S. Amateur, 4 and 2, after Chung conceded at Chambers Bay. 

Entering the match, Chung had led Uihlein 2-1 in match play duels. On the 34th hole, Chung conceded after needing three shots to get out of gnarly round on a hill. The two shook hands and hugged. 

"Shocked and surprised," said Uihlein when asked how he felt. "It's so surreal."
