Sectional Qualifying for the 2012 U.S. Open has already happened in Japan and England, but it begins in earnest in the United States this Monday, June 4, with 11 sites hosting dozens of golfers who are hoping to qualify for the second major of the year in golf.
Those sites are spread out across 10 states — only Ohio will host more than one Sectional Qualifier on Monday — and include some big names, like Springfield Country Club in Ohio and Lake Merced Golf Club/TPC At Harding Park in California. The event itself will tax the golfers playing in it, with 36 holes of play on the day and only about 60 spots available in the Open field.
Here is a listing of Sectional Qualifying courses, tee times and notable participants. If you're looking for just one site to follow, it's the one at the Scioto Country Club and Ohio State Scarlet Course (many golfers who just finished playing in the 2012 Memorial Tournament made short trips to Columbus) or the Germantown Country Club in Memphis, where players will be getting ready for the 2012 FedEx Championship after playing in Section Qualifying.
