UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. - Stanford junior David Chung posted two wins on Thursday to advance to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur being contested at Chambers Bay Golf Course in University Bay, Washington.

Chung defeated Skip Berkmeyer, 3&2 in the round of 32 and then posted a 2&1 victory over Brad Benjamin later in the afternoon.
