Two Holes-In-One and a Round of 112 Made for Wild Week of Local Qualifiers

A lost fantasy football bet resulted in one player registering for the Kansas City U.S. Open local qualifier and carding a smooth 112

John Eckert finished last in his fantasy football league - his punishment? Compete in the local U.S. Open qualifier at nearby Oakwood Country Club. One hundred twelve shots later, it went down as one of the most wacky rounds in recent memory. On the far other end of the qualifying spectrum, University of Texas standout, Parker Coody made two aces in his qualifying round on his way to a 3-under 69, good enough to advance to the next stage. 

The deadline for the PGA Tour to reply to requests from players to play in the LIV Golf opener was last Tuesday and a hard line was drawn. Each and every request, an estimated 20 of them in total, were denied, meaning players who do compete in the Greg Norman-led venture could face repercussions should they seek to play future Tour events. 

Brooks Koepka was a last minute WD from this week's Byron Nelson, so he will attempt to channel his major state of mind once again at Southern Hills where he'll chase a third Wanamaker trophy for his mantle.
