Tim Jackson scored a 2-under 68 last Monday to lead the qualifying round for the U.S. Amateur Championship.

The tournament was played in the Southern Hills Country Club, where Jackson raced to a one-shot lead midway through the 36-hole qualifier.

The top 36 players after Tuesday’s round will move on to the match play portion of the event. The final set will take place on Sunday.
