Kansas University golfers Spencer Painton and Daniel Hudson have qualified for the USGA’s U.S. Amateur Championship.

Painton had nine birdies to win the US Amateur Sectional Qualifier on Tuesday at Columbine Country Club in Colorado.

Hudson’s had a 2-under 142 to force a playoff at the top of the leaderboard Monday at the Wisconsin sectional at Mascoutin Country Club. Hudson’s performance marked his second-straight summer to qualify for the US Amateur, held this year at Olympia Fields Country Club in the suburbs of Chicago, Aug. 17-23.

Painton played nearly flawless golf on the 7,394-yard, par-72 course in his home state, finishing the opening round with a 3-under 69. He played even better in the second round, making five birdies over the final nine holes to card an 8-under, 136 for the tournament.

Hudson found his own birdie streak during the second round of the qualifier in Berlin, Wisconsin, sinking three in a row to start the back nine and birdied No. 18 to force a tie for medalist honors with Marquette senior Zach Gaugert.
