Stanford's stellar quartet Michael Thorbjornsen, Karl Vilips, Alex Yang, and Barclay Brown to go head to head at the US Open Golf 2023

Michael Thorbjornsen, Karl Vilips, Alex Yang, and Barclay Brown have fixed their spot in the US Open 2023. The Stanford University's star quartet put the entire golf fraternity in awe with their stellar performance in the 36-hole Final qualifying.

Thorbjornsen is the most interesting amateur heading to the third major of the season in the Los Angeles Country Club. The 21-year-old golfer has had many mesmerizing performances on the PGA Tour already. In the 2022 Travelers Championship, he finished fourth on the leaderboard. Interestingly, this year will be his third appearance in the US Open.

Karl Vilips, who won the Woodmont Country Club, Rockville Final qualifying is another promising youngster in this year's major event. He is making his US Open debut at Los Angeles Country Club.

Alex Yang, on the other hand, will be looking to have a better stint in this year's US Open. He had an amazing performance at the Tacoma Country and Golf Club Final Qualifying, carding five birdies in seven holes and earning the co-medalist honor.

Barclay Brown will be playing in his second major and first US Open Championship. He was last seen in the 2022 Open Championship where he managed to make the cut. However, he was just one shot less to win the low amateur award.

Three of the stellar quartet — Vilips, Thorbjornsen, and Brown — share a room at Stanford but will not be staying together in Los Angeles.
