Four Advance to US Open Sectional Qualifying from Canyon Gate

It was a challenging day for the golfers competing in the local qualifier at Canyon Gate Country Club. Four players advanced to sectional qualifying and while we could write about it, the Las Vegas Review-Journal featured the event on its front page of sports so link to that for more details.

The four advancing were Harry Hall, Wyndham Clark, Joel Kijowski and Gipper Finau. Alternates were Taylor Montgomery and Eric McCardle.

From Harry Hall:

“The fairways were tight and the rough was long,” Hall said. “I hit a couple of great wedge shots out of the rough to about five feet today and that was a big key to the round. I putted great and didn’t miss anything outside of 10 feet, really.

“I got a little bit nervous towards the end and my new routines of doing the same thing every time were put to the test. I just backed off (the shot when I had to) and fired away. It was really cool and I had a great day.”
