Gainesville High graduate Spencer Ralston, a rising sophomore golfer at the University of Georgia, shot a blistering 7-under par on the opening day of 36 holes at the US Amateur qualifier Tuesday at the Crabapple Course at the Capital City Club in Atlanta. Ralston finished the two-day event at 6-under-par (134) and earned the fourth and final spot to play at the US Amateur, starting Aug. 17 in Pacific Palisades, Calif. His first-round card was remarkable with eight birdies, nine pars and just one bogey.
