BYU Golf will be represented at the US Open this weekend, but it’s not a golfer you’d expect.
It’s not Mike Weir.
It’s not Daniel Summerhays.
In fact, it’s not even a professional golfer. Or a former Cougar for that matter. It’s a current Cougar.
BYU’s Rhett Rasmussen earned the opportunity to play in the US Open with amateur status, and now he’ll get to meet and compete against the greatest golfers in the world.
The US Open boasts an interesting format compared to other golf tournaments. Half of the golfers earn exemptions that qualify them for the tournament automatically.
