** Clarification on registering for the U.S. Amateur Championship. 

The Louisiana Amateur Championship is considered an exemption - players do not need to have filed an entry for the U.S. Amateur to be eligible to receive the exemption.

Once determined, if the Champion has not yet filed an entry, they will be able to complete an entry at that time.

If the Champion is already signed up for Local or Final Qualifying, they will be removed from qualifying and placed in the championship field. The entry fee they already paid ($190) will be applied and they will just owe the $100 balance.
