EXPORT — Westmoreland Country Club will host Western Pennsylvania’s final USGA qualifying round of 2026 Tuesday. 

The U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Qualifying round will place two teams into next year’s 12th U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship, to be contested at Erin Hills from May 22-26, 2027. A pair of alternate spots will be earned Tuesday, as well. 

Several regulars in WPGA competitions will be competing Tuesday. 

Longue Vue members Amani D’Ambrosio and Jack Wymard, who qualified for last year’s U.S. Amateur Four-Ball, will tee off at 9:30 a.m. 

Reigning WPGA Men’s Player of the Year Darin Kowalski will team up with Kevin Fajt, who recently appeared in the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship. 

Patrick Kelly and Evan Rowane, who won this year’s WPGA Fred Brand Foursomes Championship, will tee off at 10 a.m. Garrett Browning, who won this year’s WPGA Four-Ball Championship for a second straight year with Dan Maier, will team up with Chris Cox in Tuesday’s qualifier. 

Four-Ball is a popular form of team play where each player plays his or her own ball, with the better score for each hole counting towards the team’s overall score for the round. 

Play will begin from the first and 10th tees at 9 a.m. Tuesday, with the final groups beginning their rounds at 10:50 a.m.
