The 2017 Schedule previously had listed an incorrect date for the first Firecracker Qualifier. The correct date is June 10th at Lions Municipal Golf Course. Registration for this qualifier closes on June 4th.
The Hill Country Amateur is less than two weeks away, and is always one of the best tournaments of the year. As such, this tournament was elevated to 1000 ranking points for 2017. Here is a recent message from the Crystal Falls staff regarding the tournament:
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!
