F-5: Winner of the 2023 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship
Hagestad earned his fifth U.S. Open start by virtue of claiming the 2023 U.S. Mid-Amateur at Sleepy Hollow Golf Club in Westchester (N.Y.) County, defeating Evan Beck in the 36-hole final that was contested over two days due to weather issues. This was the Newport Beach, Calif., native's third Mid-Am title, putting him in company with Jay Sigel (3) and Nathan Smith (4). He defeated past champion Scott Harvey in 37 holes to win the 2016 championship at Stonewall in Pennsylvania and Mark Costanza at Sankaty Head on Nantucket Island to claim the 2021 title. In 2017, he became the first invited U.S. Mid-Amateur champion to make the cut at the Masters. He did make the cut in the 2022 U.S. Open at The Country Club. He has represented the USA in the past four Walker Cups, all wins. He played the 2017 Match at his home course, The Los Angeles Country Club. A graduate of the University of Southern California, Hagestad completed his MBA at the school and currently works for BDT & MSD Partners in their West Palm Beach, Fla., office. He played sparingly for the Trojans men's golf team during his undergraduate days. He has competed in 14 U.S. Amateurs, reaching the quarterfinals in 2022 at The Ridgewood C.C., where he lost to eventual champion Sam Bennett.
