Daly, a day after shooting 67 to get into match play, topped Claycomb 1 up to advance to the Round of 32 on Thursday morning. The match was tight throughout, with Daly winning the par-3 11th with a birdie. It was the only hole either player won on the day.

John Daly II, a senior-to-be at Arkansas, was among 32 players who won their matches Wednesday in the first round of match play at the U.S. Amateur, where five of the top 10 amateurs in the world also advanced at The Olympic Club.

Though John Daly II has a lot in common with his two-time major-championship winning father, he's not a carbon copy of his old man.
