Three former Tigers to play in US Open

Clemson, S.C.—Former Clemson golfers Lucas Glover, Kyle Stanley and Sam Saunders all will compete in the opening round of the 2019 United States Open on Thursday. The 72-hole tournament will be played June 14-17 at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, Cal.

It will be the largest representation of former Tigers at the US Open since 2012 at the Olympic Club in San Francisco when Glover, Stanley and Jonathan Byrd all competed. The record for former or current Tigers in the US Open is five in 2011.

Saunders will be the first player to strike a ball on Thursday as he will begin play from the first hole at 6:45 a.
