Former Clemson golfers, Elliot Gealy, David May and Sam Saunders qualified for the US Open on Monday. The US Open will be contested from June 16th-19th at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.
Elliot Gealy and David May qualified out of the Rockville, Maryland sectional. Gealy fired rounds of 70-65 to finish in 3rd place and May shot 68-68 to qualify on the number. Also competing in that region, but failing to qualify were former Tigers, Ben Martin and Phillip Mollica.
Sam Saunders qualified with rounds of 69-70 and then survived a playoff to be one of three golfers to qualify out of the Vero Beach sectional.
In the Columbus, OH sectional, former Tigers, Kyle Stanley and DJ Trahan failed to qualify. Stanley narrowly missed qualify after being eliminated first in a 6 man playoff for the final three spots.
Gealy, May and Saunders will be joined at Congressional by Johnathan Byrd and Lucas Glover who both qualifed automatically for the event giving Clemson a total of 5 former Tigers in the tournament. This will be the most former Tigers to play in a single US Open. The previous high was four in the 2009 US Open.
