Former LSU All-American Sam Burns and former All-Southeastern Conference golfer Philip Barbaree are set to compete at Oakmont Country Club outside of Pittsburgh, touted as one of the toughest golf courses in the world.
Meanwhile, former Tiger John Peterson, the 2011 NCAA champion, is in Oakmont hoping to get in the field if enough players withdraw. He went into Thursday’s play as the third alternate based on U.S. Open sectional qualifying.
Burns, 28, is coming off a runner-up finish in last week’s Canadian Open to Ryan Fox, falling in a four-hole, sudden-death playoff. The Shreveport native is ranked 29th in the FedEx Cup standings and has three top-10 finishes with about $3.5 million in earnings this year.

Barbaree, 26, also from Shreveport, has played six events this year and made four cuts on the PGA Tour Americas with his best finish in his last start — a tie for third in Bogota, Colombia. He was co-medalist in the U.S. Open sectional qualifier he played in at Emerald Dunes in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Barbaree’s wife, Chloe, will be his caddie at Oakmont. He will tee off at 7:57 a.m. Thursday, while Burns goes off at 12:14 p.m.
Live coverage of the U.S. Open begins at 5:30 a.m. on USA Network.
