Canterbury golfer Kazuma Kobori has qualified for the US Amateur  to be played at Colorado Golf Club from August 14-20. 

This will be the most significant event in his career to date. He will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Danny Lee who won in 2008.

Kobori has been playing in the United States and has some consistent results leading to qualification with a score of nine under par. His latest event saw him finish eighth on seven under par.

The US Amateur has 312 in the field. Two rounds of strokeplay sort out the top 64 who go on to play the 18-hole knockout matchplay over five days with the final played over 36 holes.
