About Ryder Cowan

A two-time All-American, he earned GCAA Freshman All-America honors in 2024 and built on that with a strong sophomore campaign before a standout 2025-26 season that included All-SEC First Team recognition. By the spring of 2026 he had posted two individual wins along with multiple top-10 finishes and ranked among the top players in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, and he was named one of 10 finalists for the Fred Haskins Award given to college golf's top player.

At the BallenIsles Country Club East Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on June 8, he shot rounds of 71-67 for a 6-under total of 138, then survived a three-for-two playoff for the final qualifying spots, advancing with a par on the first extra hole while his competitors made bogeys. It marked his first appearance in the championship.
A Haskins Award finalist and a Team USA selection for the 2026 Arnold Palmer Cup, Cowan entered the U.S. Open as one of the leading amateurs in the 156-player field. He competed at Shinnecock Hills retaining his amateur status.
