Penn State golfer Cole Miller barely misses cut at British Amateur Championship
Penn State rising senior golfer Cole Miller carded a two-day total of 1-over 143 in the British Amateur Championship — but he missed the cut by two strokes Tuesday after tying for 90th and watching the top 77 move on.
Miller shot a 1-over 71 Monday at Royal St. George’s Golf Club and followed that up with an even-par 72 at the Princes Golf Club on Tuesday. He competed among 286 players.
Miller’s two-day total of 143 ranked as the fourth-lowest among the 13 Americans in the field.
The British Amateur Championship is regarded as one of the world’s top amateur golf tournaments.

2 named Gatorade Players of the Year
Two incoming freshmen for the Penn State women’s soccer team — midfielder/forward Franklie Tagliaferri and forward Emma Thomson — have both been named the Gatorade Girls’ Soccer Player of the Year in their respective home states of New Jersey and Illinois.
Tagliaferri also won the award last season, and she’s already been a three-time NSCAA All-American. This is Thomson’s first such honor after recording 33 goals and seven assists as a senior at Maine South High School.
They become the fourth and fifth players on Penn State’s current roster to win the award. Brittany Basinger (Virginia), Maddie Elliston (Nebraska) and Megan Schafer (Pennsylvania) were also named the Gatorade Players of the Year.
