About to fly to a usga qualifier for my girls. We try for 4-5 of their events a year. They both made it to one championship so far. They usually provide the number of qualifiers on the first tee and it’s always a pretty small number. It is interesting 54 holes is supposedly not enough but the use 36 hole events to qualify for the US Open-the most grueling event in golf- is appropriate. A lot of LIv guys have a chance. But most of those no names you see on the list can catch lightning in a bottle. Many are up and coming studs we just don’t know yet. So it’s not easy. I personally like the qualifier system and wish they had less automatic qualifiers through the owgr; especially in this era where the owgr is not providing a true top 50. But they are actually moving to using the ranks more at all levels, which benefits pga tour and rich amateurs who can travel to play more ajga events and what not. I really like whan championships start at grass roots local levels, giving everyone a chance to try.
Who qualifies today? 🤣✌️
