GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) – The 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club is set to take place from Thursday to Sunday.

In addition to a very strong field and difficult course, two of Florida’s own are set to compete.

United States Junior Champion and Gator signee, Trevor Gutschewski, is the first of a pair to compete in the field. The Omaha native has a list of titles including 2024 United States Junior Amateur Champion, 2024 Nebraska Junior Match Play Champion and 2024 Nebraska Golf Association Golfer and Junior Golfer of the Year before stepping on campus.

Thursday at 18 years old he will compete in the same tournament, the U.S. Open, that his Dad competed in back in 2009.

Scott Gutschewski has competed in 157 PGA Tour events including the U.S. Open at Bethpage.

Trevor Gutschewski (a) will tee off at 8:13 a.m. and Noah Kent (a) will tee off at 8:35 a.m. on Thursday.
