LOS ANGELES -- Former Georgia Southwestern State University All-America selection Vincent Norrman will be making his first major championship appearance when he tees off Thursday at the U.S. Open. Norrman's first round tee time is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. Pacific time at the Los Angeles Country Club. 

Norrman, a native of Stockholm, Sweden, starred for the Hurricanes from 2017-20. He was in the midst of a historic season at GSW in the spring of 2020 when it was cut short by the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent cancellation of all collegiate and conference championships. Norrman won an eye-popping five tournaments that season, finishing in the Top 10 of all seven events played, to end the year ranked the No. 1 NCAA Division II individual according to the Golfstat computer rankings. His Golfstat adjusted scoring average of 69.25 was the lowest across all divisions of the NCAA. 

Norrman's 69.10 stroke average in 2019-20 was the lowest ever posted by any Peach Belt Conference player. His low round of that season was an 8-under 64 at the Nova Southeastern University Shark Invitational, Oct. 7-8, on the PGA National Champions Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. He shot par or better in 19 of the 20 rounds played. His best 36-hole score was 135 (7-under) and his best 54-hole showing was a 204 (12-under).
