Among the three players tied at even-par 70, University of North Alabama golfer Michael Peter of Florence, Ala., outlasted Kennesaw State University golfer Jimmy Beck of Columbus, Ga., with a birdie on the third playoff hole.  Beck finished as first alternate, while University of Georgia golfer Lee McCoy of Clarkesville, Ga., claimed the second alternate position.

Sectional qualifying will consist of 36 holes of stroke play conducted at two international sites on May 27 (Japan and England) and 11 United States’ sites on June 3, including Hawks Ridge Golf Club in Ball Ground.  Qualifiers from Marietta Country Club may, but will not necessarily be, at that sectional qualifier.

The 113th U.S. Open Championship will be held at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., June 10-16.  A record 9,860 entries were accepted.  Entries were open to any professional and to amateurs with USGA Handicap Indexes not exceeding 1.4.  The U.S. Open is one of 13 national championships conducted annually by the United States Golf Association.
