My Little Brother May Make The US Open
 

Tomorrow is the day. I know some of you may not care for me nor like me because of my antics from posting the craziness I have over the years drunk, but put all that aside for a moment and wish my little brother well tomorrow in his attempt to make The US Open field. He will be playing at OSU's course and the Scioto Country Club here in Central Ohio, and I will be their for every shot. His name is Danny Sorgini.

I have never been more proud of him in my life.

Good luck little bro............................................... .....................

Good Luck to him

wow, fingers crossed. that's great

cool man

Good luck to your bro.
that would be great if he makes it!

Good luck to him! Curt: you don't need a preamble every time you post! Every member is here to have fun and learn and co-exist...warts and all!:D

Here, here, good luck to him, and hope we'll be rooting for him in the Open.

i will bring back my caddy shack av for good luck

Just found out 1 of the players in his group is Jason Gore..............

Later gang and wish my little bro good luck!

Tell him good luck curt. Tell him to hang loose and leave everything on the course.

I hope the kid plays his heart out Curt. It's an acheivement alone just making past local qualifying, as those are the ones with very few spots available.


24 spots available today among this field.

best of look to your bro>

Kev, so guys in the world's top 25 still have to qualify?? Guys like Rose and Baddeley..

No those guys don't have to qualify....Kev can probably rattle it off from the top of his head, but to qualify it has to do with rankings, pga result, pga partners results (euro, asian, etc...) previous open and major records and a whole bunch of other things....they keep spots open for qualifiers and special exemptions....they have sectional qualifying and then regional qualifying and there are hundreds if not thousands of people playing all over the world today for those 25 spots....I was watching TGC yesterday and they mentioned that a lot of the players in the Wales Open were driving somewhere several hours away after yesterdays final round to play in the 36 hole U.S. Open qualifying....anyway not sure that helped at all

Best of luck.....keep it in the short grass......

There's some serious names on that list.

Good luck to your Bro Curt.

good luck Curt. A good friend of mine's brother qualfied a couple times and has played in the John Deere Classic in the Quad Cities. A lot of fun. Enjoy the day.

Didn't his brother invent the internet?

Best of Luck to your Bro

Best of luck to your bro....what a great accomplishment.

Speaking of golf....anyone know what happened to the teenage protege Ty Tryon? Maybe Kev knows.

Last I heard he was bouncing around between tours...couple Nationwide events, Canadian Tour, Hooters Tour...

Kev...top 50 in World Ranking as of May 28th are exempt.

WOW! Not knocking those tours because god knows I would LOVE to be able to play one round on one of those tours.....but I remember the hype of this kid and this is a far cry from where some projected......I guess the good thing is that he is still young! Hopefully we will see him one day......It is unfortunate the way they hypw some of these kids and are set up for failure.

I still don't think he is hurting too bad financially...signed a good deal with Callaway the year he was on the big tour.


Yeah...be careful about knocking the Hooters Tour....yours truly made even made the cut in his Hooters Tour debut:D

Any news on how he did today?

nothing yet...I just checked the website.

was just getting ready to post those myself....

An awful lot of good players failed to qualify. Danny has nothing at all to be ashamed of. He easily could have packed it in after an opening 79, but seems he showed alot of grit to come back in the afternoon and fire a 72.

Qualifying for a US Open is so freaking hard.

The earlier bird gets the results... Agreed, excellent showing for anyone yesterday, especially an amateur.

Quite a few golfing millionaires below the cut line that are a just a shot or two from Danny's score. The toughest tournament in the world each year....
Nice job overall......he matches that second round on the first day and it comes down to dropping one more put......I could shoot 72 on this course but then I'd have to play the last 6 holes....

honestly....look at the list...I see 3 guys that failed to qualify that have already won on Tour this year (Calc, Hoffman, Wilson)

a name that sticks out to me is Trip Kuehne (brother to Hank and Kelli). This guy is amazing. Just started up his own financial investment firm in Dallas...works his ass off....and still have enough game to shoot the scores that he does. I can't tell you how good this guy is. He easily could have made a very nice living on the tour.

Is Kelli on the LPGA Tour anymore? I used to enjoy watching her.....golf, but don't recall seeing her in a while.

Mike...she is still out there...played in 10 or 11 events thus far this year.

When I caddied for Dina last year in Williamsburg, we got paired with Kelli (Sophie Gustafson was our 3rd). This girl made me blush with the language whe was using. I can honestly never recall being in the presence of a female that used the word f*ck so many times in 5 hours.

Maybe she was talking directly to you? Should've taken her up on it.

Kev,

Didn't Trip Kuehne lose the amatuer to some guy named Woods....then caddied for both his sister and brother in it?

That's too funny about the language.....I used to live in Wilmington, DE and every year I would either go to or work the McDonalds at DuPont. Well one year, I got to be inside the ropes with Dottie Pepper (Mochrie then) and let me tell you, she is in the four letter hall of fame....most of it was said with a lot of emotion, so there wasn't a lot of discussion, but it was a riot....Oh Laura Davies being the group didn't hurt either....

Sam...I LOVE Dottie. I had dinner with her one night in Ohio. She is 180 degree opposite off the course than on it. Cant begin to say enough nice things about her.

that's cool....I used to love to watch her play....what a competitor....was it just the injury bug that stopped her, or a combination of things? More importantly, did she spring for dinner?

Anyone know how Curt's brother did?

see post #26....

Too bad Mark O'Meara didn't make the cut either.

Sorry about your brother, Curt... that's nothing to be ashamed of though! That's awesome that he had the chance. :cool:
