Camiko Smith will progress to the next stage of US Open qualifying after his one-under-par 71 at Alpine Country Club in Rhodes Island yesterday.

Smith finished in a tie for third at the local qualifying event, enough to take him through to sectional qualifying next month.

Birdies at 10 and 11 were enough to get the Bermuda golfer above the cut line after his birdie on the par-5 2nd was cancelled out by bogeys at the par-3 6th and 9th.

Sectional qualifying in the United States is on June 8, with the US Open beginning 10 days later at Chambers Bay Golf Course just outside Seattle.

Smith will attempt to qualify for the US Open at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland.
