Red Storm men???s golfer Dan Mollicone was one of eight competitors to advance to the U.S. Open???s sectional qualifier.
The rookie carded a three-over par 74 in windy conditions on the green Wednesday afternoon to secure a spot at sectionals. Mollicone played the Laurel Links course in Long Island, N.Y. for the first round of the qualifier.
???I didn???t start out very well but I made a few birdies and hung in there,??? said Mollicone. ???I stayed relaxed the whole time and scratched out a qualifying spot. I???m really excited for the next round and hope that my teammates, Mike (Ballo Jr.), Keegan (Bradley), George (Zolotas) and Seve (Casey Calmi) will be joining me at the next stage.???
Ballo Jr., Bradley, Zolotas and Calmi will all be competing in a different first-round qualifier on Monday, May 14, at the Silver Springs Country Club, just days before heading to NCAA Regionals in Alpharetta, Ga.
Mollicone heads to the sectional qualifier on Monday, June 4, which will be held at the Century Country Club and Old Oaks Country Club in Purchase, N.Y.
