Uihlein looks some player

I can't view live coverage on their website

Is it not live yet or is it because I am trying to view from Canada?

Yeah he is a great prospect also. Golf is in safe hands for the next 20 years at least with the amount of top young players. (Uihlein, Kaymer, McIlroy, Manassero, Johnson, Noh, Ishikawa etc) etc       )++

I was asking how he had qualified for the US Open. Pretty basic quation to ask when I see a player after playing 7 holes and yet to get a sniff at a par.

Sorry, didn't mean it that way.  but asking that question begs me to respond in that way although you read it defensively rather than objectively.

again, not condescending at all just pointing out the issue here.  A little bit off your game and you can shoot 90 in a hurry even if you are a + handicap and playing relatively well.

my apologies for the misunderstanding.

I was hoping K.J Choi would be doing better.

On another note, Michael Campbell did a lot better than I thought he would.

Honestly, I would just like to see an American, any American win. The Euros have been killing it at the majors lately.

And long may it continue (We will pretend Schwartzel and Oosthuizen are European)

Great first shot, Rory!  Now let's forget about the Masters and win this thing.

He did so by playing quality golf.  He did so under some pressure as he was in a playoff for the spot.  How else does one qualify?

This McIlroy, Johnson, Mickelson pairing is going to keep me entertained all evening. Mickelson in the water with his first shot

I think ESPN3 is limited to US only.

[deasy55]

There's many different ways a person can qualify for the US Open. Thanks for letting me know that he qualified through one of the 36 hole qualifiers though in a snide manner. Cheers.

They say you can't win a major on Thursday, but can lose it on Thursday.  Phil is trying to lose it on the first hole!

Ever hear the saying "ask a silly question"?  There aren't any ways to qualify for the U.S. Open without playing quality golf.

This week will be about making the least bogies.

How was it 'a silly question'? I asked how he qualified (eg 36 hole qualifier or amateur win etc). I was just curious. Jeez........I think it's pretty obvious that all the players playing in the US Open have a quality golf game...don't you think?

I would have thought that you asked a serious question if you had left off the second sentence. With your second sentence and your emoticon you come off as insinuating that he is not good enough to be in the open. 5 seconds on google would have given you the answer you were looking for.
