U.S. Open Local Qualifying in Indianapolis

Ball State junior Braxton Kuntz advanced last week to final qualifying for the 124th U.S. Open, which will be held at Pinehurst from June 13-16. He shot 6-under 66 at Broadmoor Country Club in Indianapolis to claim one of five spots that moved on.

Kuntz was one of several Cardinals golfers who participated in local qualifiers for the U.S. Open, between Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio. The only Ball State player to advance to final qualifying, he was trailed closely by teammates Kash Bellar (5-under 67) and Alec Cesare (4-under 68).

Kuntz, Bellar and Cesare join the rest of their Ball State teammates while competing May 13-15 at the NCAA Regionals in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
