* Trident Transport director of operations Mark Harrell from Lookout Mountain, Ga., won twice Wednesday in the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship in Atlanta. Harrell topped Chad Wilfong of Charlotte, N.C., 1 up in the round of 32, then beat Michael Muehr of Potomac Falls, Va., by the same score in the round of 16 in the competition at Capital City Club-Crabapple. According to a USGA release, in the win over Wilfong, Harrell made seven birdies against no bogeys in what was the equivalent to a score of 63 with concessions. Harrell played golf professionally for five years after graduating from Alabama. Now he will get the chance to continue his run at this United States Golf Association title. He's set to play Tyler Crawford of Indio, Calif., at 8:30 this morning in the quarterfinals, and the semifinals are also scheduled for today. The 36-hole final is Friday.
