DURHAM – Duke men's golf freshman Ian Siebers overcame tough scoring conditions and finished as one of three medalists at a local qualifier for the 2021 U.S. Open on Tuesday at the Duke University GC in Durham.
Siebers shot 1-under 71 on the Blue Devils' home course and was one of five golfers in the field of 78 to advance out of the local qualifying stage in the quest to play in the 121st U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego, Calif., June 17-20.
Those players who advance out of the 110 local qualifying sites will join a group of locally exempt players in final qualifying, which will be conducted over 36 holes at nine sites across the country in late May and early June.
