Congratulations to four golfers with UCLA connections who have advanced through local U.S. Open qualifying this month. Sophomores Gregor Main and Alex Shi Yup Kim represent the current team. Incoming freshman Patrick Cantlay will be part of the UCLA team in the fall and former player Jason Kang lettered for the Bruins three years ago.
Kim, who earned 1st Team All-Pac-10 honors last month, survived a six-man playoff Monday for five spots after posting a one-over par 72 at Oakmont Country Club in Glendale, Calif. Kim made par on his first playoff hole to advance to sectional qualifying.
Cantlay tied for fourth place on May 12 at Newport Beach Country Club with a two-under par 70.
On May 10 at Ruby Hill Golf Course in Pleasanton, Calif., near his hometown of Danville, Main tied for third with a one-over par 73. High winds and rain elevated scores for the 88-player field.
Main, Kim and Cantlay are set to compete at Sectional Qualifying on June 7th at Del Paso CC in Sacramento, Calif.
Finally, former Bruin Jason Kang won his local qualifying on May 10 at Towson Golf and Country Club in Phoenix, MD. Kang's 69 was three-under par.
