What a great effort by the 17 year old New Zealander Danny Lee.
He shot rounds of 69,71 around the Olympic Course in San Francisco to qualify in joint 6th position for the matchplay competition commencing tomorrow.
The top 64 players qualify. The number 1 qualifier plays the 64th and so on, so Danny will probably be playing the 54th qualifier.
The matchplay rounds are played over the next 3 days with the semi finals and finals played over the weekend.
Top qualify is American Jason Kokrak with rounds of 68 and 69.
Other foreign players to qualify are:
Cheng Tsung Pan Chinese Taipei 73 70
Estanislao Goya Argentina 66 78
Marius Thorp Norway 73 71
Jhonatthan Vegas Venezuela 72 72
The cut line has yet to be set as players are still on course.
What a fantastic effort by Danny Lee. Lets hope he can get through to the weekend.
