30 Canadians look for U.S. Open spots
Mike Weir among the golfers taking part in 36-hole sectional qualifying on Monday, Bob Weeks writes.
A total of 30 Canadians will tee it up today, looking for spots in next week’s U.S. Open.
The 36-hole sectional qualifying takes place at 10 different locations across the U.S. (as well as one in the U.K.; another in Japan is completed) and includes veterans like Mike Weir as well as a handful of amateur players. Many advanced through the first stage of local qualifying and will now try to beat the odds and play their way into the year’s second major.
The only Canadian exempt into the event is Adam Hadwin.
The U.S. Open will be played at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., June 11-17, 2018.
