Qualifying is complete at 68 sites across the United States; see who made it to Erin Hills Golf Club in Wisconsin
Qualifying is complete for the 41st U.S. Mid-Amateur, contested over 18 holes at 68 sites across the United States.
A record 5,708 entries were accepted for the championship, to be held at Erin Hills Golf Club in Erin, Wisconsin. 41 players, including the defending champion Stewart Hagestad, are exempt into the championship, with the remainder of the 264-player field coming from sectional qualifying.
Highlights from qualifying include:
August 24
The 68th and final qualifying site for the 2022 U.S. Mid-Amateur took place at Walpole Country Club outside Boston, Mass. Former Duke standout Jake Shuman, a recently-reinstated amateur, was one of two co-medalists after shooting 2-under 69.
"Growing up, the Mid-Amateur has been the forbidden fruit," Shuman told MassGolf. "Everybody there can play. I’m sure there’s a handful of guys in similar spot — returning amateurs. The level is incredibly high. A lot of it is how much practice I can get in. If I can play my best golf, I can compete with most people."
Also firing 69 was Maxwell Campion, who made three straight birdies from 14 to 16 to reach 4 under. He needed them greatly as a double-bogey 6 at the par-4 18th could have otherwise erased his chance at a trip to Erin Hills.

A closing 31 at CommonGround Golf Course outside Denver, Colo. has sent Chris Thayer to Erin Hills for his third U.S. Mid-Amateur appearance since 2016. Thayer, who also medaled at qualifying in 2018, fired 64 thanks to an impressive front 9 after beginning his day on the back. Sam Marley, who also started his round on 10, did his damage early with a 4-under 30 on the back nine en route to his own 64 as the pair shared medalist honors by a stroke over Nick Nosewicz, who advanced with a birdie on the first playoff hole.

Former UNC Tar Heel Andy Sajevic is no stranger to capturing medalist titles at USGA qualifiers, nor is he to playing exceptional competitive golf at Shadow Ridge Country Club in his hometown of Omaha.
For the fifth time since 2016, Sajevic finished atop the leaderboard while advancing to a USGA championship, making it the second straight year he's done so for the U.S. Mid-Amateur. On Tuesday at Shadow Ridge, he took advantage of the par-5s by making birdie or better in all four opportunities, including two eagles. Sajevic has now won the Nebraska Amateur and qualified for three different USGA championships at Shadow Ridge.

"The wind was in our face, and it was 93 yards," Gutowski told the Northern Ohio Golf Association. "I was contemplating between the 50 degree and the 54 degree. I went with the 50 (degree) and got the distance perfect so I couldn’t ask for much more."

“I’m stoked [for Erin Hills],” Max Tylke told the Minnesota Golf Association. “They say you’re not supposed to look ahead, but that gave me more motivation than anything. I was excited to see that, and I really wanted to go."
It's Tylke's fourth USGA championship, second for Bryce Hanstad, and first for Robert Newbold.
“It means so much—I’m looking forward to the experience. When you get to this age, you never know if you’ll get to play in one of those,” Newbold told the Minnesota Golf Association. “That’s always been a goal, to make it to a USGA championship before the kids start getting older and life gets in the way."
