Punters Note: BMW Winner An Was A Semi-Finalist At Chambers

Bettors and fantasy players will take any crumb so note Scott Hanson's story on BMW Championship winner Byeong Hun An's win at Wentworth that earns the former U.S. Amateur Champ a berth to the U.S. Open.

An, besides winning the Amateur, reached the semi's in 2010 at Chambers Bay, making him one of the few to qualify who has a track record of success over the mysterious layout.

Anything seemed possible when An was one of the big stories entering the U.S. Amateur in 2010. The year earlier, he had won the event, becoming its youngest champion at age 17.

He proved his title was no fluke at Chambers Bay, making it all the way to the semifinals before losing to David Chung. He played six competitive rounds at Chambers Bay, which will give him an experience edge at the U.S. Open.

But it has not been a straight line of success.
