Nice Roundup Of Open Championship Qualifier In TX
/Jim McCabe on Robert Karlson's playoff success that gets him back to the championship he's contended in and WD'd from last year with yip issues.
He also covers the other qualifiers, near misses and the brutal 17th hole at Gleneagles CC.
Finishing double-bogey, bogey left Karlsson at 4-under 136, tied with three others – Luke Guthrie, Bud Cauley and Andres Echavarria.
The only thing was, there was only room for three of them.
You certainly could tell, too, who was in and who was out as everyone bunched around the scoring board. Those who had posted 7 under (Josh Teater), 6 under (Johnson Wagner and Camilo Villegas), and 5 under (Scott Brown and Brian Davis), wore flip-flops, t-shirts, and even bounced their children on their laps (that would be Brown).
Their long and hot day had been completed in satisfying fashion, five guaranteed tickets punched to the Open Championship at Muirfield in Scotland (July 18-21).
