SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Purdue senior Peyton Snoeberger battled brutal conditions that consisted of wind, snow and rain to finish second in U.S. Open local qualifying at the South Bend Country Club to advance to sectional qualifying next month at a site to be determined.
Under terrible weather conditions, Snoeberger shot a 2-under par 69 to be one-of-two players under par and one-of-five players among the 84 that started the round to advance to the next stage on the road to the Los Angeles Country Club.
Snoeberger was five shots clear of advancing after starting on the back nine. He was 2-over par on the back nine, but played the front nine (his second nine) in 4-under par 32 to advance easily to sectional qualifying.
