Four Qualify for 2025 U.S. Amateur at Glen Oaks CC
It was a battle against blustery winds and cool summer temps at Glen Oaks Country Club today as four golfers emerged from the U.S. Amateur Final Qualifying to punch their tickets to one of amateur golf’s most prestigious stages.
Sebastian Kasun of Elm Grove, Wisconsin, earned medalist honors with a stellar 4-under-par 67. After opening with a bogey, Kasun bounced back with five birdies, securing his place in the 2025 U.S. Amateur Championship.
“I really just focused on trying to hit fairways today,” said Kasun. “I had a lot of scoring clubs coming in, so I was just hoping I could get some putts to drop—and they did. There’s a lot to look forward to playing in the U.S. Amateur, and I’m so excited for the opportunity to compete at The Olympic Club.”
Just one stroke behind, Andrew Ramos of Blaine, Minnesota, clinched the second qualifying spot with a 3-under 68, highlighted by six birdies and an eagle.
Four players finished at 2-under, forcing a tense playoff for the final two qualifying spots. After two playoff holes, Jimmy Abdo of Edina, Minnesota, and Maxwell Tjoa of Cedar Falls, Iowa, each carded clutch pars to advance. Grant Smith of West Des Moines and Anson Munzlinger of Columbia, Missouri, will serve as the first and second alternates, respectively.
The 2025 U.S. Amateur Championship will be held August 11–17 at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, California.
