BYU golfer Rhett Rasmussen will be playing in next week’s U.S. Open in New York after advancing in the sectional qualifier in San Francisco Monday.
The 19-year-old Rasmussen, a native of Draper, had rounds of 66 and 71 at the Lake Merced and Olympic Club Ocean courses, respectively. He tied for third place and was one of just five golfers out of 86 in the qualifier to advance.
Rasmussen, who just completed his sophomore season at BYU, was the only local golfer to make it out of one of the 10 sectional qualifying tournaments played Monday in various parts of the country.
