Three current and former Tar Heel men's golfers are set to compete in the 2022 U.S. Open, which begins Thursday (June 16) at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., which last hosted the national championship in 1988.
Ryan Gerard, who just completed his fifth and final season as a Tar Heel, made the U.S. Open field by winning co-medalist honors last week at a qualifier in Jupiter, Fla. He shot 5 under par over 36 holes in his first professional tournament. The Raleigh native earned second-team All-America honors and was named All-ACC after leading UNC to a tie for fifth place in the 2022 NCAA Championship.
