Former Ohio State Golfer Neal Shipley and Current Buckeyes Golfer Vaughn Harber Qualify for US Open at Shinnecock Hills

Former Ohio State golfer Neal Shipley and current Buckeyes golfer Vaughn Harber have qualified for the US Open at Shinnecock Hills. Shipley, now a professional on the PGA Tour, tied for first at the Springfield qualifier in Ohio, shooting eight-under to secure his spot. This will be Shipley's second US Open appearance after his impressive performance at the 2024 US Open. Harber, a sophomore at Ohio State, will make his first major start after winning a playoff at The Lakes Golf and Country Club in Westerville.

While Shipley and Harber are set to compete at the US Open, former Ohio State star Maxwell Moldovan will miss the tournament for the first time since 2021. Moldovan narrowly missed qualifying this year after a bogey on the 17th hole in the final round cost him a spot in a playoff. Despite this setback, Shipley and Harber are poised to showcase their talent on the big stage.

Shipley, a rising star on the PGA Tour, will make his professional debut at a major championship, while Harber will have the opportunity to shine as an amateur. Both players have proven their skills on the golf course and will look to make their mark at the prestigious US Open. Ohio State fans will be eagerly watching as Shipley and Harber represent the Buckeyes at one of golf's most prestigious events.
