Final Qualifying: Shot 68-69--137 at Woodmont Country Club (North Course), in Rockville, Md., on June 8

The Fairfax, Va., native and 2026 University of Virginia graduate got into his second consecutive U.S. Open, this time as the first alternate from the Woodmont Country Club site. Lee had shot 5-under 137, but lost a 2-for-1 playoff with Jake Sollon for the final spot. A year ago, he survived a 3-for-2 playoff at Woodmont to get into the field at Oakmont C.C. He will join fellow Virginia alum Ben James in the field. Both were on the 2025 NCAA runner-up team that lost to Oklahoma State. Currently No. 47 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, Lee finished as the runner-up in this year's Puerto Rico Classic. He also qualified for match play in last year's Western Amateur. He did compete in the U.S. Amateur. Lee was the runner-up in the 2024 Northeast Amateur, losing in a playoff. He also qualified for match play at the 2022 U.S. Junior Amateur.
