Davis Love III To Loop For Dru Love In 2017 U.S. Open

Davis Love is going from a successful cart driving stint to luggage handler this week for son Dru, reports Doug Ferguson.

''I'm excited for him,'' Love said Sunday afternoon as he watched from some 300 yards away as his son, who goes by ''Dru,'' teed off during a practice round with Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk. ''I've played with a bunch of 19- and 20-year-olds. But it makes me feel old that he's playing.''

Before you say the Loves have a case of the presumptuous, Ferguson says the opportunity only arises after publication of the Official World Golf Ranking on Monday where only one player is expected to move into the top 60 and therefore this week's U.S. Open at Erin Hills. This will leave five spots for Sectional Qualifying alternates and Ferguson says Dru Love's qualifier is fifth on the priority list.
