Brady Calkins, who won the 2014 NWAC championship in his lone season on the Community Colleges of Spokane golf team, has earned a spot in the U.S. Open for the second time.

Calkins fired rounds of 68 and 69 Monday to finish 7 under at Wine Valley Golf Club in Walla Walla, claiming one of two qualifying spots in the field of 41. Calkins, a native of Chehalis, Washington, finished one shot behind amateur Matt Vogt, a dentist from Indianapolis.

Calkins will tee it up next week at the 125th U.S. Open from June 12-15 at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. He qualified for the 2022 U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline and missed the cut after shooting 76 and 73.

Calkins has been a standout on the Dakotas Tour for several years and played on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2023.
