Punching their U.S. Open tickets
*Updated: 12:25 p.m.
Here's a list of the collegians/amateurs who made it through yesterday's various sectional qualifiers and will join Florida State's Drew Kittleson (U.S. Amateur runner-up) in competing next week's U.S. Open at Bethpage Black.
Tyson Alexander, Florida
Josh Brock, UNC Wilmington
Bronson Burgoon, Texas A&M
Rickie Fowler, Oklahoma State
Clark Klaasen, Duke
Ben Martin, Clemson
Matt Nagy, Kennesaw State
Kyle Peterman, Western Illinois
Vaughn Snyder, Ohio State
Kyle Stanley, Clemson
Nick Taylor, Washington
Cameron Tringale, Georgia Tech
Drew Weaver, Virginia Tech
Stanley will turn pro the week after the U.S. Open, but remained an amateur to take advantage of his exemption through local qualifying because he was a member of the 2007 U.S. Walker Cup team.
Stanley, Taylor and Fowler all qualified for last year's U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, with Fowler making the cut and finishing as the low amateur.
