Iowa golfer Nate Yankovich qualified for the U.S. Amateur Championships Monday, carding a two-round score of 138 (14-under) at Rattlesnake Ridge Golf Course in Sunbury, Ohio.

Yankovich’s score was the lowest of all golfers at the event.

Yankovich is the third Iowa golfer to qualify for the event — sophomore Carson Schaake and incoming freshman Sam Meuret are scheduled to play in the U.S. Amateur field.

Iowa’s Raymond Knoll and former Hawkeye Steven Ihm played in the event last summer. It’s scheduled for Aug. 11-17 in Jones Creek, Georgia, at the Atlanta Athletics Club.
