SUNRIVER — Four Central Oregon golfers advanced Wednesday to consolation bracket semifinal matches of the Pacific Northwest Junior Boys’ Amateur Championship.

Bend golfers Dylan Cramer (fourth flight), Ryan Blackwell (fifth flight), Declan Watts (sixth flight) and Riley Goldstein (Bend) each won consolation quarterfinal matches at Sunriver Resort’s Meadows course.

Redmond’s Mason Rodby (third flight) and Bend golfers Will Mayer (seventh flight), Stephen Drgastin (10th Flight), T.K. Wasserman (11th Flight), Ben Wasserman (12th Flight) and Kyle Wells (12th Flight) were all eliminated Wednesday.

Thirty-two out of 144 golfers in the field advanced from 36 holes of stroke play into the championship bracket of single-elimination match play, which began Wednesday. But all 10 Central Oregon golfers missed the cut and advanced to play in eight-player consolation flights.

Stroke-play medalist Kelly Campbell, of Auburn, Wash., won two matches Wednesday to advance to the championship bracket quarterfinals, which are scheduled to be played today. The tournament’s reigning champion, Dominick Francks, of Olympia, Wash., lost to Eugene’s Sulman Raza in the round of 16.

The 36-hole championship match of the PNGA event is scheduled to be played Saturday.
