It was a marathon day at Wild Horse Golf Club that turned into an extra day of qualifying for the 123rd U.S. Amateur Championship, with Luke Kluver of Norfolk and Henry Shimp of Charlotte, North Carolina earning spots into the field. They'll play in the championship, August 14-20, at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver.

Entries are open to amateur golfers with an up-to-date Handicap Index® based on ratings for men not exceeding 2.4 under the Rules of Handicapping. A current Handicap ID number (GHIN) issued through an authorized golf club is required and must be submitted on the entry form.
Amateur Status: All amateur players must conform to the Rules of Amateur Status as approved by the United States Golf Association and The R&A.
Performance in Qualifying: If a player fails to return a score within 10 strokes of the Course Rating™, future entries for a U.S. Open, U.S. Amateur, U.S. Mid-Amateur or U.S. Senior Open Championship may be declined if documentation is not provided demonstrating that the player is capable of competing at the national championship level. Please note that players who “no card” are subject to receive a letter from the USGA under the same guidelines as those who do not return a score within 10 strokes of the Course Rating.
Withdrawal from Qualifying: Players can withdraw by logging into their account and clicking on the WITHDRAW tab. They must also notify the Official in Charge prior to their scheduled Qualifying round. Failure to do so may result in disqualification from future USGA competitions.
Entry fee of $180 must be paid by every player. Players who withdraw prior to close of entries will receive a refund less a service charge. Players can withdraw by logging into their account and clicking on the WITHDRAW tab. Players who withdraw prior to the close of entries will receive a refund of $135. Players who withdraw after the close of entries and by 11:59 PM EDT two days prior of the qualifier will receive a $95 refund. Players who withdraw after 11:59 PM EDT two days prior of the qualifier will not receive a refund.

(Entries by telephone, telegraph, mail or FAX are not acceptable.) Time limit for entries means time of receipt at USGA (not time entry is transmitted to USGA). Entries should be submitted early to allow ample time for delay or error in transmission. The risk of delay or error in transmission lies solely with the entrant and the USGA will have no liability with respect to any such delay or error and the consequences therefrom, including rejection of the entry.
