Open Extended ReactionsSANDWICH, England -- Oklahoma State junior Ethan Fang held off a late charge Saturday with a 5-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 1-up victory over Gavin Tiernan of Ireland, becoming the first American in 18 years to win the British Amateur. The last American winner of the British Amateur was Drew Weaver in 2007 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Fang two-putted for birdie on the par-5 14th, after Tiernan hit a poor pitch that left him some 30 feet short. Fang went 2 up when Tiernan got in trouble off the tee at the 15th and made bogey. But the Irishman answered in stunning fashion -- a 30-foot birdie putt to win the hole on the par-3 16th then a 15-foot birdie putt on the 17th to square the match again.
