N. Myrtle Beach, SC (May 12, 2008)…It starts with a dream of holding up the trophy and being declared US Open champion. However; before that dream can become a reality, many golfers must compete in local and then sectional qualifying to earn their spot in the Open field.
Each year current and former members of the Hooters Tour, who have that dream of becoming the next Ben Curtis or Zach Johnson, start the process in early May with the local qualifying.
