I notice they don't list his handicap or mention him winning any previous tournaments. It's a fun, feel good story but I think he's going to shoot 90+ each day. (Still, it'll be about 15 strokes better than I could do on this course.)


In all fairness to him and others who qualified for the open, you have to have very very serious skills and game to qualify at any of the sectional qualifying sites. He'll probably shoot in the 80s both days but he has to be a helluva even to get into the alternate pool.

Apparently his swing speed is around 114 MPH or something ridiculous

This is 100% true. Last Saturday I played the course here in Memphis that they held the qualifier on. I shot 85. The low round here was 65 by Stephen Ames, who followed that with a 68 in rnd 2. My best friend plays to about a 1 handicap and could only muster a 76. You have to have some serious game to go low enough both days to qualify.
