Both Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler failed the sectional qualifying rounds in Columbus, Ohio for the 2010 US Open today, bummer for sure

Rickie shot a 70-73-143 wtf?

Bubba shot a 71-69-140 with his first ever (Hole-n-one)

Just goes to show how tough it truly is to qualify for this event

He didn't qualify

You are correct:

Got into field as first alternate from Columbus, Ohio, sectional when 2003 PGA Championship winner Shaun Micheel withdrew; Fowler was the last man out of an 11-man playoff

Justin Rose is one spot below Fowler in the world ranking, and he won't be playing at Pebble Beach unless he wins this week in Memphis.

The British Open resolves the dilemma of a non-exempt, non-qualifier who goes on a hot streak immediately before the tournament by reserving entries for the highest-finishing players not yet in the field at the PGA and European Tour events held after the cut-off date for the other exemption criteria. Perhaps the USGA should institute a similar policy for its premier event.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

And to boot, the USGA gave a special exemption to Vijay because he did not make the top 50 on the 24th and didnt attempt to qualify. Hopefully Rose, Fowler and Watson will get one of those as well. Fowler draws more viewers than Vijay!

Those are two different things, Vijay has one of his last chances to play in the US Open at a good level while Fowler still has almost 30 years to try

Some of the thinking was Vijay played a few tournaments with an injury and he missed cuts as a result. If he had just sat out those tournaments, his ranking wouldn't have slipped as much. Or that is what the talking heads said on TGC the other night.

I think both played a little part into vijay getting the exemption but there's a good chance this will be vijay's last US open. I think the amount of events he plays and the amount of practicing he does finally caught up with him. He's only got a couple years before the champions tour and I'm betting he has some success there.

geez what do you have to shoot to qualify?

I believe the cutoff was somewhere around 136-137.

Best 9 holes: 35 (Trilogy at Redmond Ridge, 3163y, Par 35/70, 70.0/131)
Best 18: [b]77[b] (Palm Valley CC, 6545y, 71.4/126)
Notable career achievement: I have NEVER four-putt.

Special exemptions shouldn't exist.

      Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him.

      Anyone Shipped Their Golf Clubs?

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
