The 16 amateurs that are teeing it up this week in the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 have their tee times and pairings for the first two days. There are two players who previously earned exemptions into the championship that are not being used.

Christo Lamprecht, who won the 2023 British Amateur, gave up his exemption to turn pro after the collegiate season finished and missed out on qualifying in final qualifying. Nick Dunlap, the 2023 U.S. Amateur champion, is in the field as a pro after winning the 2023 American Express.

Here are three notable pairings:

Hole No. 10 1:47 PM: Gordon Sargent (a), Jake Knapp, Cameron Young

The 2023 U.S. Open low amateur and No. 1 ranked player in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings with play with two of the longer drivers on tour, making for a fun pairing for the young Vanderbilt standout. Sargent finished T39 and 4-over last year at Los Angeles Country Club.

Hole No. 10 2:09 PM: Ben Kohles, Denny McCarthy, Benjamin James (a)

Ben James, a 2023 Walker Cupper and quarterfinalist at the 2023 U.S. Amateur will get to play with PGA Tour winner and Virginia alumni Denny McCarthy. James just finished his sophomore season at Virginia and will have a comfortable pairing with a proven professional from his stomping grounds.

Hole No. 1 2:31 PM: Taisei Shimuzu, Gunnar Broin (a), Maxwell Moldovan

The Kansas product Broin will play with recently turned pro Maxwell Moldovan, who is playing in his third straight U.S. Open after getting in last year as the first alternate, same as this year.

ABOUT THE U.S. Open Golf Championship

The U.S. Open is the biggest of the 15 national championships conducted by the USGA. Open to amateurs and professionals. Amateurs gain entry via USGA win or runner-up finishes while having the opportunity to qualify alongside non-exempt professionals in an 18-hole "Local' qualifying followed by 36-hole "Final" qualifying which is affectionately known as golf's longest day. Highly-ranked amateurs will be exempted past the 18-hole Local Qualifying. See the USGA website for details. And if you are exempt on any level be sure to apply by the deadline anyway.

The USGA intends to make the U.S. Open the most rigorous, yet fair, examination of golf skills, testing all forms of shot-making. The USGA prepares the course after careful consideration of 14 different factors.
