## Resource

Ben James is turning heads at the U.S. Open—just 23, newly turned pro, and barely eight shots behind the leader, he’s made the cut for the weekend after missing it twice as an amateur. Qualifying through a scramble, he battled through a tough second round to stay in contention, now tied for 22nd with big names. With his PGA Tour card freshly earned, James is proving he belongs at the top level—and with the Travelers Championship in Connecticut right after, the momentum’s just beginning.
