There will be a heavy orange contingent at the U.S. Open at Erin Hills next week for the 117th playing of our national championship. Six former Oklahoma State golfers qualified for the event, most of them through sectional qualifying on Monday (basically a bunch of incredible golfers vying for 7-8 spots per location, or about 70 spots total).
Here’s a look at the six and how they got to Erin (which I previewed here!)
Rickie Fowler
Fowler qualified about every which way you can qualify. The No. 9 golfer in the world nearly pulled off his second win of the season last week at the Memorial hosted by Jack Nicklaus.
