Bio

Sargent, the 2022 NCAA Division I champion, will play in his second U.S. Open after winning the 2023 Mark H. McCormack Medal for being the leading player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking following last year's U.S. Amateur. Sargent, who just completed his junior season at Vanderbilt University, became the ninth freshman to win the NCAA title. The Masters Tournament then gave Sargent a special invitation to the tournament, becoming the first amateur since Aaron Baddeley in 2000 to earn such a distinction. He earned the 2022 Phil Mickelson Award for being the nation's top freshman golfer. He also was a first-team All-America selection by Ping and Golfweek and was named the Southeastern Conference's Freshman of the Year. In three seasons in Nashville, Tenn., he's won four college events. The Birmingham, Ala., native, helped the USA retain the Walker Cup in 2023 at St. Andrews, posting a 4-0-0 mark on the Old Course. He also helped the USA win the Eisenhower Trophy at the 2023 World Amateur Team Championship in the United Arab Emirates; a year earlier he was on the USA side that finished third in France. He also has represented the USA in the 2022 and 2023 Palmer Cups.
