Bayou Brew 8/11: This Isn't Amateur Hour
The LSU Tigers’ 2025-26 men’s golf season isn’t set to begin for another month, but the squad has five players looking for success in the 125th United States Amateur.
Let’s get this week going, LSU Fam. The LSU Tigers’ 2025-26 men’s golf season isn’t set to begin for another month, but the squad has five players looking for success in the 125th United States Amateur, which begins today in San Francisco.
The LSU quintet is part of a field of 312 that will play 36 holes of qualifying today and tomorrow, seeking one of the elusive 64 spots that advance to match play on Wednesday.
The field will play one round each at The Olympic Club on the par 70 Lake Course (7,214 yards) and the famed Ocean Course (6,787 yards, par 70). The Olympic Club has been the home of several major championships, including five United States Opens.
