Ryan Gerard, a Raleigh native who just finished his fifth season as a member of the University of North Carolina men's golf team, qualified Monday for the 2022 United States Open.
Gerard, who earned All-America and All-ACC honors this season, shot 5-under-par 137 in winning co-medalist honors in a 70-player field at the Club at Admiral's Cove in Jupiter, Fla.
He bested a field that included PGA stars Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff. The top four players in Jupiter qualified for the U.S. Open, which begins June 16 at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass.
