MIAMI (July 11, 2017) -- Former FIU golf star Meghan MacLaren earned a spot in the 2017 United States Women's Open, which starts this weekend. MacLaren has a 2:09 p.m. Eastern tee time off of the first hole, paired with American Kyung Kim and Australian amateur and current Colorado Buffalo Robyn Choi in one of the last threesomes to tee off in the opening day of play.
The 156-player field will play at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, in the 72-hole championship.
MacLaren won one of six spots from the qualifier in Buckinghamshire, England on June 5, 2017, by tying for third with a two-round 145.
