Tried twice and never made it past the local qualifier.

Shot 72 and 69 got into a playoff for the last spot to go to the regional qualifier.

I got past local qualifying when I was nineteen, and played 36 holes with Don January in the sectional.

You can start qualifying April 27 this year

Golf truly is unlike any other professional sport in the world. Don’t believe me? Well what other sport out there provides its followers an opportunity every year to qualify and potentially compete against the same guys that millions of people are watching on television from the comfort of their home?

Indeed, the U.S. Open is entirely unique and distinct in this regard. Starting April 27th, qualifying golfers will be able to take the first step towards competing in the 2020 U.S. Open, hosted by Winged Foot Golf Club.

And to help celebrate this unique opportunity, the United States Golf Association is proudly unveiling its new U.S. Open brand platform, “From Many, One.”
“Our goal was to develop a distinct and powerful brand platform that allows us to celebrate what makes our championship unique and to tell the stories that drive our audiences to attend, watch and engage with the U.S. Open year-round,” said Craig Annis, chief brand officer of the USGA. “Given that the U.S. Open drives nearly 75 percent of the USGA’s revenue, the success of the championship directly impacts the work we do to support millions of golfers who enjoy the game.”
