Ohio State men’s golfer Neal Shipley has had an impressive season beyond the college game, making waves at both the Master’s and U.S. Open. After finishing as the low amateur at the Master’s earlier this year, Shipley accomplished the same feat this weekend at the U.S. Open. He was one of three amateurs to make the cut at Pinehurst No. 2 and finished the championship at +6, two shots ahead of Florida State’s Luke Clanton.
It’s clear that Shipley has the talent and determination to excel at the professional level in golf, and his recent accomplishments at the Master’s and U.S. Open are a sign of great things to come. His performance at these major PGA events has shown that he can compete with the best in the sport, joining golf legend Jack Nicklaus as one of only ten amateur golfers to win low amateur at both tournaments in the same year.
As a graduate student, Shipley is poised to continue his success in professional golf and become a household name in the sport.
