It was 44 golfers competing for three slots. In the end it was Wil Collins, Chandler Smith-Stetson and Lobo senior Gustavo Morantes claiming the top spots at the USGA U.S. Open qualifier Tuesday at UNM Championship Golf Course.
The trio all tied and shot a round of 71 to outpace the rest of the competitors. The three qualifiers will now move on to sectional qualifying next month with an opportunity to move on to the 118th US Open Championship in June at Shinnecock Hills GC in Southampton, N.Y.
