The U.S. Open Sectional Qualifier is routinely considered "the longest day in golf". Golfers from all over who advanced out of their local qualifier head to the sectional qualifiers to play 36 holes with a precious few spots on the line into the U.S. Open.

Four spots were up for grabs Monday at the Bears Club in Jupiter. One name on the list stood out in particular, and not just because he has a house inside the club and is a resident member.

Luke Donald at one point in 2012 was the #1 ranked golfer in the World. Now, after some less than steller play as of recent, found himself outside the top 60 and having to qualify through a sectional qualifier for what he said was the first time in “10 or 11 years”. 

“It’s not something I’m very accustomed to,”…

"Today was a lot better," Tiger Woods said when he was describing his finla round 74 at the Memorial Tournament. 

The only problem with that statement, is his Sunday 74 followed a Saturday 85 so it could not have gotten much worse. While Woods improved 11 shots on Sunday, much of the discussion was about the 85 Tiger shot on Saturday, his worst single round as a professional. After making the cut on the number on Friday at 1-under and showing glimpses of the old Tiger at times, his 15-over par weekend left everyone scratching their heads and having more questions then answers, including Tiger.

“This is a lonely sport,” Tiger said Sunday. “The manager is not going to come in and bring the righty or bring the lefty, you've just got to play through…

North Palm Beach resident Clancy Waugh shot an 8-under par 64 on Monday at Willoughby Golf Club in Stuart to earn Medalist honors and advance out of the Local U.S. Open Qualifier.

The Benjamin High School grad and current Wake Forest golfer earned himself a trip to the June 8th 36 hole Sectional Qualifier at the Bear's Club in Jupiter as the low medalist.

For Waugh, it's a little bit of redemption after a less than stellar sophomore season with the Demon Deacons. After being named Freshman Athlete of the Year and becoming only the 11th Wake Forrest golfer in win a tournament last year, in 2015, Waugh had finished no better than 40th and just a week ago missed qualifying for NCAA regionals by one shot.

"I made every putt I really had a look at,”…

Golf.com conducted a survey with Tour pros on the PGA, Champions, and LPGA Tours. They provided them with anonymity and asked them some hard hitting questions. What we got was 100% honesty on everything from who will win more majors between Tiger Woods and Rory Mcllroy to would golfers vote for Hillary Clinton in the next Presidential election if she lowered taxes. Here are some of the highlights from the survey.

PGA Tour pros were asked "Who is more likely to win 19 majors: Tiger or Rory?" The Jupiter Island resident was given the upper hand on that one with 76% of the Tour pros surveyed thought Tiger would get to 19 first. Considering that Tiger currently has 14, while Rory only has four, I would tend to agree with them there.

53% of Tour pros think…
