Six former Ohio State men’s golfers have advanced to sectional qualifying for the 2008 U.S. Open, held this year June 12-15 at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, Calif. The six golfers moved on to sectional qualifying June 2 in Columbus at either Ohio State’s Scarlet Course or Double Eagle Golf Club.
Kevin Hall, the Big Ten individual champion in 2004, earned medalist honors by firing a 5-under 67 at the Maketewah Country Club in Cincinnati. Just behind Hall in second place was former teammate and 2005 graduate Scott Anderson. The former All-Big Ten golfer was one stroke back with a score of 68.
Mike Austin, a 2001 grad, played his qualifying round at Eagle Eye Golf Club in Bath, Mich. He shot a 70, one shot off the pace, to finish second and move on to sectional qualifying.
Stephen Gangluff advanced to sectional qualifying with a round of 73 on the Creek Course at the Hammock Dunes Club in Palm Coast, Fla.
Chris Smith, former All-America selection and uncle of current Buckeye Brad Smith, shot a 71 at the Dye Preserve Club in Jupiter, Fla.
Ryan Armour, a 1999 graduate and former All-American, also will be competing in sectional qualifying. Because of his PGA TOUR status, he did not have to go through the round of local qualifying.
