Two former Huskies assured themselves a spot in the U.S. Open golf championship next week through sectional qualifying Monday, and a third virtually did the same.
Richard Lee (64-68) tied for second at the qualifier in Newport Beach, Calif., to earn a spot at Pebble Beach. Alex Prugh (70-70) had to survive a playoff to earn one of the spots available in Milton, Ontario. Joel Dahmen (67-71), after winning a seven-way playoff, is the first alternate out of the crowded qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, and is fully expected to land a spot at the Open.
