Stanford teammates Alex Yang of Newport Beach, Michael Thorbjornsen, Karl Vilips and Barclay Brown qualified for the U.S. Open at L.A. Country Club.
Four current members of the Stanford men’s golf team have qualified for the U.S. Open — that’s believed to be a record for the major championship — and, as any fan of the Cardinal knows, the unofficial mascot of Stanford is the tree.
Most seasoned of the Stanford foursome is Thorbjornsen, who was the Pac-12 Conference golfer of the year and is ranked second in the world among amateurs. This is his third U.S. Open. He won the U.S. Junior Amateur in 2018 and earned an exemption for Pebble Beach in 2019, where he made the cut. He missed the cut last year at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., just east of his family home in neighboring Wellesley.
Not only are they teammates, but Brown, Vilips and Thorbjornsen also are college roommates. In that respect, they’re pretty normal.Jose Ochoa and his team of six other attendants work from daybreak until late night at the L.A. Country Club, and this week focus on U.S. Open competitors and their every need.
“When you think about tournaments you can play in as an amateur, playing in this, the Masters and the U.S. Amateurs are probably the three pinnacles,” said Yang, who played in the 2018 and 2020 U.S. Amateurs. “So as a player, to have achieved two of those is really cool and something you dream about.”
