ERIN, Wis. -- Matthew McClean won the rain-delayed U.S. Mid-Amateur on Saturday, building a 5-up lead and holding off close friend Hugh Foley in an all-Irish final at Erin Hills.
The 36-hole championship match was split over two days because of rain earlier in the week. McClean was 2 up after 18 holes on Friday evening, and then took advantage of Foley's bogeys to build a big lead.
Foley ran off three straight birdies late in the match, only for McClean to close him out with par on the . . .
