MACON, Ga. - Rhys Davies, a three-time All-American at ETSU and Kennesaw State rising junior Matt Nagy qualified for upcoming majors. Davies earned a spot in the British Open while Nagy will compete in the U.S. Open.
Davies, who qualified for and played in the 2007 U.S. Open just weeks after graduating from ETSU, fired rounds of 65 and 67 to post an 8-under-par 132 and finish sixth in the qualifier earlier this week. A total of 96 players were competing for 10 spots in next month’s tournament at Turnberry.
Kennesaw State men's golfer Matthew Nagy qualified for the 2009 U.S. Open by tying for medalist honors in the sectional qualifier at Hawks Ridge Golf Club in Ball Ground, Ga., Monday afternoon.
The KSU rising junior shot a 71 in the first 18 holes of play. After a 30-minute break for lunch, Nagy returned to the course and fired a 63, posting a 10-under par score for his two rounds to tie PGA Tour professional and Georgia Tech alumnus Matt Kuchar for low medalist honors.
