A friend in the U. S. Open? We’ll see!

Golf No Comments »

My friend Oscar Fraustro will be playing tomorrow what probably is to this day the most important round of golf of his career, the Sectional Qualifier for the U. S. Open. A few weeks ago he got his place by finishing tied for third at the Local Qualifier.

He will be playing in a field full of PGA Tour Professionals, some of them past U. S. Open champions. Among 120 players, 16 will make it to the U. S. Open which takes place in two weeks in a course named Bethpage Black, which is close to New York City. The last time the U. S. Open was played there, in 2002, Tiger Woods won (as he too did last year).

I want to wish Oscar the best of luck tomorrow, and I look forward to seeing him play in the U. S. Open. I know he has what it takes; I just hope things go right tomorrow.

You can follow along by reading his blog at www.oscarfraustro.com, where he most probably will write about his experience tomorrow.

I have a friend on Tour!
