Mason Howell Stuns John Daly II at U.S. Amateur! 🏌️♂️🔥 Faces Eric Lee Next in Semifinals
South Georgia’s own Mason Howell is making headlines at the 2025 U.S. Amateur Championship after pulling off a huge upset against John Daly II, the son of the legendary golfer John Daly. 💥 From the very first hole, Howell took control of the match, refusing to give Daly II a chance to grab the lead. Even with the crowd firmly behind Daly, Howell stayed aggressive, delivering clutch shots when it mattered most.
The defining moment came on the 14th hole ⛳, where Howell sank a critical birdie that gave him the edge. From there, he held his nerve, closing out the final holes with steady pars to book his place in the semifinals.
After the win, Howell—who has already collected major junior golf titles including the Georgia Independent Athletic Association State Championship and the Billy Horschel Junior Championship—delivered a bold message to the fans:
🗣️ “I’m just a boy from South Georgia. But I hope a lot of people got their eyes opened to my golf game today.”
Now, Howell is just one step away from the finals. His next test? California’s Eric Lee, the world’s No. 29-ranked amateur, who has an impressive résumé of his own. Lee showcased his resilience in the quarterfinals, storming back against Miles Russell with back-to-back birdies on 13 and 14 to clinch his semifinal spot.
🔥 With Howell’s fearless mentality and Lee’s proven pedigree, this semifinal clash is shaping up to be one of the most exciting matches of the U.S. Amateur. Who will punch their ticket to the finals—Mason Howell or Eric Lee?

Alexander Vulcanowski may have just revealed his next title defense and it looks like Lon Murphy is the man in line. The reigning featherweight king was locked in on the UFC 319 co-main event which featured undefeated contender Lon Murphy 16-1 against highly touted Debbutant Aaron Pico. The fight ended in shocking fashion with Murphy delivering a brutal firstround knockout that had fans buzzing. The finish was eerily similar to what happened in the bout before it when Carlos Prates flattened Jeff Neil with a spinning elbow. Murphy unleashed the exact same strike moments later, dropping Pico Cold and immediately strengthening his claim for a 145 lb title shot. Vulcganowski didn’t waste any time reacting. The champion quickly took to social media, seemingly confirming Murphy as his next challenger while teasing a December showdown. See you in December at Laro Murphy. Congrats #UFC319. Vulcganowski posted on X. Murphy’s meteoric rise hasn’t gone unnoticed. Earlier this week, Joe Rogan gave the Englishman major praise on his podcast, comparing him to UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards in his prime. Murphy is no joke, Rogan said. He’s super solid, super technical everywhere. To me, Murphy is very much like Leon Edwards at 145. Strong everywhere, doesn’t make mistakes, always training, always sharp. He has world championship potential. Rogan also highlighted that Murphy often flies under the radar in a stack featherweight division filled with killers. He’s one of those guys who’s way better than people realize, Rogan added. He’s undefeated. He’s not getting the shine he deserves, but trust me, Murphy’s the real deal. With Vulcanowski already calling a shot for December, the featherweight division could be set for a massive title clash between the longtime champion and one of the UFC’s most underrated rising stars.
