LOS ANGELES – For the second straight year, Purdue alum Adam Schenk ('14) will test his skill against the world's top golfers at the 123rd U.S. Open, starting Thursday at the Los Angeles Country Club.
Schenk qualified in part to an outstanding season thus far in 2023, ranking 54th in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) entering this week's event. He qualified by ranking in the OWGR's top 60 after The Memorial Tournament – where he recorded his second-straight top-10 finish with a 7th-place showing. He lost in a playoff the week before at the Charles Schwab Championship and also finished second in March at the Valspar Championship.
Schenk currently ranks 26th in the FedExCup standings, and with just eight weeks remaining on the 2023 schedule, has qualified for the season-ending FedExCup Playoffs for the fifth straight year. His highest previous finish in the playoffs was 71st in 2019.
This marks the second major that Schenk will play in during the 2023 season. He missed the cut at the PGA Championship in May, but has qualified to play in his first Open Championship in mid-July at Royal Liverpool in Hoylake, England.
This week marks his fourth career major, appearing in the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill (missed cut), the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills (T-41) and the 2022 U.S. Open at The Country Club (T-24). This season, he ranks 35th on the PGA Tour money list ($3,509,665).
Schenk will tee off round one at 3:37 p.m. ET, off hole 1 on Thursday and at 10:07 a.m. ET, off hole 10 on Friday. He is paired with Eric Cole and Thriston Lawrence.
This marks the fourth straight year that a Purdue alum has played in the U.S. Open. Schenk (2022) was preceded by Fernando Barco ('17) at Torrey Pines in 2021 (missed cut), and Tyler Duncan ('12) at Winged Foot in 2020 (T-34). Duncan also competed in the 2018 event at Shinnecock Hills (T-56) and 2015 at Chambers Bay (missed cut).
Schenk had an outstanding career at Purdue, helping Purdue to the 2014 National Championships in his senior season. He holds the school record for most-consecutive rounds at even- or under-par (13) and is seventh in career stroke average (73.35). He ranks third all-time in top-10 finishes (19).
