Two co-medalists earned their way to the U.S. Junior Amateur Monday at Carlisle Country Club (par 70, 6,400 yards).
The dual invitations available were seized by Medford Lakes Country Club’s Jack Ross and Virginia’s Mehrbaan Singh, who both finished with day-low rounds of 2-over 74. In all, 44 players took to Carlisle’s championship-conditioned course on Monday.
The Qualifying event’s alternate positions went to Manor Golf Club’s Evan Jozwiak followed by Bidermann Golf Course’s Drew Clark, thanks to their 4-over rounds of 76.
The U.S. Junior Amateur will be played at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort (Bandon Dunes), Bandon, Ore. on July 25-30.
For Ross, three birdies dropped overall. The 18-year-old’s birdie on the par-5, 541-yard 18th was the ending he needed for a national championship ticket. Four birdies appeared on Singh’s card overall, which also included a clutch closing birdie.
