ATLANTA – History was made for the Georgia State men's golf team last week when former Panthers Alex and Max Herrmann teed it up in the 120th USGA U.S. Amateur Championship at Bandon Dunes Golf Club last week.
After 12 years without a Panther in the field the twin brothers who both graduated in 2018, became part of an elite 264-player field.
With no qualifying for this year's event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the brothers qualified for the event based on their Men's World Amateur Golf Ranking as the top 25-ranked players 25 and older using the WAGR Age Filter as of June 24, 2020 allowed for an exemption into the championship.
