OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Former Hays High standout Tradgon McCrae’s run at the Kansas Amateur golf tournament at Milburn Country Club in Overland Park came to an end Thursday first round of match play.

McCrea, in the round of 64, lost to Pete Krsnich of Wichita two and one in 17 holes.

McCrea birdied the first hole to go 1 up, but bogeys on three and six would allow Krsnich, the former Kansas Jayhawk, to go 1 up and he led by one after a first-round 36.

Another bogey for McCrea on 11 put Krsnich 2 up through 11. Krsnich added a birdie on 15 and was 3 up before giving a shot back with a bogey on 16.

Heading to the 17th, McCrea trailed 2 up and need to win the hole to extend the match, but both McCrea and Krsnich recorded a par on the par-5 17 giving Krisnich the win.
