After becoming the first Northwestern men’s golfer to reach the U.S. Open in the midst of his collegiate career since at least 1990 and the ninth Wildcat to do so in that span, Ryan Lumsden will begin his journey at Shinnecock this afternoon. The junior will be paired with Japanese late entry Rikuya Hoshimo and PGA Tour member James Morrison, and the threesome are scheduled to tee off at 1:20 PM CST. Lumsden’s participation in the prestigious event will come on the heels of a banner year: the London native finished his junior season with the eighth-lowest score average in Northwestern history.
