Jay Reynolds advances to U.S. Open Sectionals

Jay Reynolds was one of five players who shot 69 (-3) during yesterday’s U.S. Open local qualifier, held at Wolfdancer Golf Club in Bastrop.  Jay survived a 5-for-4 playoff  to fill out the eight qualifying spots for the 117th U.S. Open at Erin Hills G. C.  PGA Tour player Wes Short, Jr. is the first alternate and Omar Uresti, another former PGA Tour player is the second alternate.

Jay is 36 holes away from qualifying for a major and will go against even tougher competition during Sectional Qualifying, but whatever the result – congratulations thus far!
