Weeks after hitting the first shot in the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, golfer Matt Vogt tied a record at a course near Indianapolis.
The Cranberry native posted photos on social media Sunday showing he scored 62, tying the record set in 2020 by Eric Steger at Highland Golf and Country Club. The achievement came after Vogt, a 34-year-old dentist who lives near Indianapolis, competed earlier this month in the U.S. Open at the Oakmont course where he served as caddie for years in high school and college.
In the photos posted to social media, Vogt held up his scorecard standing next to a framed scorecard commemorating Steger’s record-setting outing. Par for the course is 70.
