Eugene’s Vaughan qualifies for U.S. Open

Monica Vaughn and Luna Sobron Galmes advanced to the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open after firing low scores at the qualifier in Woodburn. The 36-hole qualifier, which was played at OGA Golf Course, featured 52 competitors from across the globe.

Vaughn, from Eugene, posted a new women’s course record with her opening-round 63. That round featured an eagle and seven birdies, rolling in four consecutive on holes No. 2 through No. 5.

She followed that up with a 1-under par 71 in the second of the two 18s to take individual medalist honors at 10-under par.

The 2021 U.S. Women’s Open is scheduled for June 3-6 at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. The OGA Golf Course is one of 22 qualifying sites.
