Union’s Andy Ogletree is headed back to the U.S. Amateur for perhaps the last time.
Ogletree grabbed one of five spots available at the Capital City Club’s Crabapple Course in Woodstock, Georgia. Ogletree finished fourth in the event with a two-day total of 7-under-par after rounds of 68 and 65. Ben Carr of Columbus, Georgia., won the qualifier with a 9-under-par 131.
The 119th U.S. Amateur will be held on Aug. 12-18 at the famed Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, NC.
Ogletree also qualified for the U.S. Amateur in 2017 and 2018.
Ogletree also recently competed in the North & South Amateur. Ogletree qualified for match play in the event and won his first-round match before falling the round of 16.
It’s been a good summer for Ogletree on the links. After four top 10 finishes during his junior year at Georgia Tech, Ogletree won the Monroe Invitational with a 1-under-par score of 279 in early June.
Ogletree will be entering his senior year at Georgia Tech and is on schedule to graduate with a bachelor’s in business administration next spring.
Ogletree finished the year as the No. 19 ranked golfer in the NCAA and finished the season with a 70.37 stroke average, helping lead the Yellowjackets to the program’s 18th Atlantic Coast Conference title. Ogletree was as a second-team All-American by the Golf Coaches Association of American while teammate Luke Schniederjans was named to the third team.
