Eric Lee

Eric Lee is an amateur golfer from Fullerton, California, competing for Oklahoma State University. He began his collegiate career at the University of California, Berkeley, where he was named co-Freshman of the Year in 2024, before transferring to Oklahoma State for the 2024-25 season. As a junior in his early development, he established himself as one of the top amateurs in the United States.

Lee's amateur resume includes winning the 2021 AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions and being named the 2022 AJGA Rolex Junior Player of the Year, along with a semifinal run at the 2022 U.S. Junior Amateur and a spot on the winning 2022 Junior Presidents Cup U.S. team. He reached a career-best ranking of No. 27 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

In 2025 he delivered the clinching point as Oklahoma State captured the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship, defeating Virginia's Josh Duangmanee in the final match. That same year he advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur at The Olympic Club, further cementing his standing among the nation's elite collegiate players.

Lee qualified for his first U.S. Open by surviving final qualifying, often called Golf's Longest Day. Playing at Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento, California, on June 8, 2026, he posted rounds of 69 and 67 for a six-under-par total of 136 to secure a place in the field at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club for the June 2026 championship.
