Shorehaven's Tommy McDonagh, a former Wilton resident, tied for 12th Thursday with a 143 in qualifying for the 109th Met Amatuer championship at Piping Rock Club in Locust Valley, N.Y.

McDonagh, the reigning Connecticut state amateur champion, struggled in the morning with a round of 75, but rebounded with a round of 68 in the afternoon, which enabled him to advance to the first round of match play on Friday. The low 16 scores survived the cut.

McDonagh was one of only two players from Fairfield County to make the cut. He was joined by David Pastore of the Griff Harris Club in Greenwich.

Pastore tied for fifth in qualifying with rounds of 66, which was the low score of the day, and 73 for a 36-hole total of 139.

McDonagh and Pastore will face each other in the round of 16 on Friday morning at 8 a.m. The quarterfinals follow in the afternoon
