Local Golfer Nearly Qualifies for US Open

Danville native Phil Hendrickson played in a sectional qualifying event in Dayton, Ohio on Monday for a chance to earn a spot to play in the US Open at Bethpage Black.

Hendrickson came out firing and shot a 65 in the first round. It is a two round event, and Hendrickson couldn't capitalize on the amazing first round score, shooting a 74 in round two for a two round total of 139. He needed a 136 to qualify for a spot in the Open.

The event hosted a total of 68 golfers competing for 4 spots. The four qualifying scores were 130, 134, 136, 136. Dayton was one of 15 host sights around the world.

It would of been nice to see a local golfer teeing it up with the Tiger and Phil at Bethpage.
