Madison golfer Andrew Steinhofer had Dominic Bozelli on the ropes with three holes to go in their quarterfinal match of the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship Friday at Shoal Creek Country Club in Birmingham, Ala.

But Steinhofer, who will be a senior this fall at Madison La Follette, bogeyed the last three holes of regulation as Bozzelli, who sandwiched two pars around an eagle at the par-5 17th, squared the match. Steinhofer then lost on the 19th hole after bogeying his fourth straight hole in sudden death.

 It was a match of tournament underdogs coming out of the 36-hole medal-play qualifying earlier in the week as Bozzelli qualified 58th (72-79 -- 151) and Steinhofer qualified 63rd (76-76 -- 152). Steinhofer double-bogyed Nos. 4 and 5 and went 2-down after five holes only to win four of the next five holes to go 2-up.

 He went 3-up with a par at No. 12 and, after giving a hole back at No. 14, went 3-up again with a birdie on No. 5. But that's where the bogey train derailed Steinhofer's quest to earn a semifinal berth.

Bozelli had won his first two matches 4-and-3 before dispatching Gaston De La Torre of Brush Prairie, Wash., 3-and-2 in the round of 16. Steinhofer, who had his brother Adam as his caddie, won his first two matches 5-and-4 and 3-and-2 before rallying to beat local favorie Tom Lovelady of Birmingham, Ala., 1-up in the round of 16.

Bozelli will play the winner of the other quarterfinal in the lower bracket -- No. 3 seed Cameron Peck of Olympia, Wash.  -- in the semifinals this afternoon at 1:15 p.m.

The 36-hole championship match is scheduled for Saturday with the first round at 8 a.m. and the second round at 12:30 p.m.
