Bale, a managing director for a wealth management and consulting firm, is competing in his first USGA championship. He shot a 69 to earn medalist honors in the Canton, Miss., sectional qualifier. He finished tied for fourth in the 2019 Louisiana State Amateur and was a semifinalist in the 2016 Welsh Amateur. David Banks, 31, of Oceanside, Calif., is a staff sergeant for the United States Marine Corps who is competing in his first USGA championship. After wrestling professionally for 10 years, Banks enlisted in the Marine Corps and got back into golf while stationed in North Carolina in 2014. He is a three-time All- Marine golf team member. Banks finished 16th in the 2019 Armed Forces Championship despite fracturing his ankle while deployed in Kuwait the previous year. Zack Bellenger, 28, of Weatherford, Texas, is a fifth-generation funeral home director. He is competing in his first USGA championship. Bellenger was a starting third baseman on the Dartmouth College baseball team as a freshman but transferred to Texas Christian University to play one semester before leaving the program. Bellenger, who earned all-district honors on the high school level in baseball and football, was recently nominated for Parker County’s Bachelor of the Year, a community charity event. Nico Bollini, 36, of Laguna Beach, Calif., has competed in four USGA championships, including three U.S. Junior Amateurs and the 2003 U.S. Amateur at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club. The insurance broker played briefly on PGA Tour Latinoamerica and the European Challenge Tour before regaining his amateur status several years ago. The 2002 Southern California Golf Association Amateur champion occasionally conducts golf clinics and outings where he is known for his swing imitations of various pros. He earned All-Pac-10 Conference honors at the University of Southern California. Brett Boner, 45, of Charlotte, N.C., was the runner-up to Kevin O’Connell in the 2018 U.S. Mid-Amateur at Charlotte (N.C.) Country Club.
