SHENZHEN, China – The Asian Amateur will be televised live at 2 a.m. EST on Sunday morning. While most Americans won’t be awake, there will be a captive audience in Evanston, Ill., the home of Northwestern University.
Northwestern sophomore Eric Chun is in second place at the Asian Amateur, two shots behind leader Chang-won Han with 18 holes.
The winner will earn a ticket to the 2010 Masters, and Chun’s teammates want to be awake to view the action as it happens.
“I think I’m going to have a few guys over at my apartment and order some pizza and watch it tonight,” Northwestern junior Josh Dupont said in an e-mail. “We’re super pumped for him!”
It's not unusual for college students to be awake at 2 a.m. Sunday. But what about a college golf coach?
“My plan is to watch it live, but 2 a.m. is not an hour I see often!” Northwestern coach Pat Goss said in an e-mail.
