DURHAM, N.C. -- Just days away from competing in his third NCAA Golf Regional, Davidson's Jack Lang is one step closer to the 2019 U.S. Open as he carded a 2-under 70 Wednesday at Duke University Golf Club to advance to sectional qualifying.
One of five players to advance from his local site, Lang finished the day with seven birdies, including three over his last five holes.
Ranked 77th Nationally according to GolfStat, Lang will be making his third NCAA Tournament appearance, including second as an individual competitor, May 13-15 at TPC Myrtle Beach in Murrells Inlet, S.C.
In addition to leading Davidson to its first-ever Regional berth a year ago, Lang competed as a sophomore after capturing the 2017 Atlantic 10 individual title.
Lang joins Richard Fountain (2010-14) and Mike Spann (1967-69) as the only Wildcats to participate in three NCAA Tournaments.
A three-time all-conference performer, Lang led the Atlantic 10 with a 70.96 stroke average while earning Conference Player of the Year honors.
Last month, Lang was presented the 2019 Tommy Peters Award, which is given to a senior male scholar-athlete in recognition of outstanding dedication and contribution to intercollegiate athletics.
The recipient of three athletic scholarships: Dr. Tom Scott Golf Scholarship, Covington Golf Scholarship, and Southwood J. Morcott Golf Scholarship, Lang holds the school record for career Top-5 finishes with 13.
Sectional qualifying will take place June 3 at eight different sites within the United States.
Road to the U.S. Open
The process of determining the field of 156 players is a major undertaking. For the U.S. Open, it starts with almost 9,000 entrants and proceeds through two stages of qualifying, local and sectional. The USGA relies heavily on state, regional and foreign golf associations to conduct qualifiers within their jurisdictions.
Players who survive qualifying have a chance to play alongside the biggest names in golf on one of the game's grandest stages.
The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
