Manav Shah Heads to U.S. Open

Manav Shah, a Bakersfield native and UCLA alum, is headed to the U.S. Open for the second time—this time with his wife Sonam caddying and his hometown cheering him on. What started as a childhood pastime turned into a lifelong passion, leading him to win the Bakersfield Open and now compete among the world’s best at Shinnecock Hills. Qualifying by two strokes after a clutch finish in Dallas, Shah’s focus isn’t on winning but on soaking in the experience and playing with joy. He’s even honoring his supporters with custom gear, making this U.S. Open not just a milestone, but a celebration of community, love, and the game he’s loved since he was a kid.
