CINCINNATI - Xavier men's golf alum Jason Kokrak ('07) qualified for his first career British Open over the weekend after finishing tied for third at the Greenbrier Classic.
As a result, Kokrak will make his eighth appearance in a major event as a PGA professional and XU will be represented in the British Open by an alum for the first time.
"It's my first Open Championship and it gives me goose bumps just talking about," Kokrak told TheOpen.com. "I'm loving the prospect of going over to Carnoustie to compete in The Open and I think I can play pretty well in what will be a great atmosphere.
