Ball State player Braxton Kuntz from Winnipeg and former Ohio State Buckeye Jackson Chandler, a Korn Ferry Tour player from Dublin, Ohio shared medalist honors at the U.S. Open Local Qualifying Tournament in Cincinnati, each posting 3-under par 67 at Maketewah Country Club today.
Both players made five birdies on the day against two bogeys.
Three players shot 68 to advance T3: JD Collins of Lexington KY, Cincinnati’s Daniel Wetterich, another former Buckeye and Korn Ferry player, and Leo Wessel from Indianapolis.
In addition to advancing, Cincinnati Bobcat Wessel also made a hole-in-one during the qualifier, dunking his tee shot on the par-3 second hole.
Four players posted 69 while trying to claim one of the remaining three qualifying spots: Ohio State’s Topher Reed from Fairview Park, Kyle Mueller of Athens GA, Jansen Preston of Lexington KY, and Akron’s Solomon Petrie who plays at Kentucky. Petrie ended up as the First Alternate after a playoff.
