Final Qualifying: Shot 69-63--132 at Valencia (Calif.) Country Club on June 2

Summerhays, the 2019 U.S. Junior Amateur champion, will play in his third U.S. Open but first as a professional after earning medalist honors at Valencia (Calif.) Country Club with a 10-under total of 132. Summerhays made his pro debut on the Korn Ferry Tour a week prior to this year's U.S. Open. He made the cut in the BMW Pro-Am in Upstate South Carolina. Preston defeated Bo Jin, 2 and 1 to win the 2019 U.S. Junior Am at Inverness Club. Summerhays, who just completed his eligibility at Arizona State, has helped the Sun Devils qualify for the match-play portion of the NCAA Championships two of the past three seasons. Preston's great uncle, Bruce, won three times on the PGA Tour Champions, while another uncle, Daniel, won the Korn Ferry Tour's Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational as an amateur. His aunt, Carrie, is the head women's golf coach at Brigham Young University. His father, Boyd, was a standout junior/amateur golfer, earning American Junior Golf Association All-America honors four times. He was the 1995 Golfweek/Titleist Junior Player of the Year before playing for Oklahoma State. His sister, Grace, also plays for Arizona State and qualified for the 2023 U.S. Women's Open. A herniated disc ended Boyd's PGA Tour career after 29 starts. He's now a noted instructor who not only works with Preston and Grace, but also PGA Tour winner Tony Finau. Preston's great-grandfather, Pres, was the head coach at the University of Utah and his grandfather, Lynn, was a past president of the Utah Junior Golf Association. Preston followed up his U.S. Junior Amateur victory by becoming the youngest champion of the Sunnehanna Amateur (18 years, 2 days) the same week he would have defended his Junior title. Preston represented the USA on the victorious 2023 Walker Cup Team at St. Andrews (Old Course). He also competed for the 2019 U.S. Junior Presidents Cup Team in Australia. Summerhays also has represented the U.S. in the Palmer Cup. In 2022, he was named the Pacific-12 Conference's Freshman of the Year.
