not sure but the issue is that the players wont be here this time next year, as the PGA will be in September.

If that's the case, there's an interesting playoff coming up! 9 players hunting a single spot!
Oh and last weeks Italian Open winner (1m Euros payday!!) just sneaks in by right in 12/13th place!

Wow. Some decent scoring. http://www.europeantour.com/europea...d=2018047/leaderboard/index.html#/leaderboard
I assume the play-off is still in progress as I can't see anything to say who has qualified

Probably only just being organised - play only finished a short time ago.
Great to see an Am (and a Kiwi!) qualify!
I assumed so. Bit darker today so they need a shift on to make sure it gets sorted in the remaining light!

Local lad Callum tarren has got into a playoff. Fingers crossed for him

Paul Waring makes it through the playoff, according to the European Tours twitter.

As the 1st round leader, he should have been a 'walk in the park' to qualify! But that's Golf!
Some seriously high pedigree/in form guys missed out -Wade Ormsby & Lee Slattery (and Porridge of course!) for example!

Sam Horsfield, who is highly rated (Ian Poulter tweets about him a bit) must be spitting feathers. In the lead at -9 with 5 holes left, then finishes bogey, bogey, double, bogey, par to miss automatic qualifying by 2 and the play off by 1.

Talented lad Sam. That's going to hurt for a little while.

Tom Lewis from our club has qualified, hes a nice lad and can play a bit,I hope he does well. :thup:

Have noticed Tom appearing on a few leaderboards. Also tipped up this week by Steve Palmer in the Racing Post for this Shot Clock Masters in Austria at 90/1.

Every time I have watched him play on the ET he goes from the sublime to ridiculous. Seems extremely talented but is prone to a few brain farts. Once he gets that under control I can see him contending very regularly.

Anyone see the play off?
was it 9 men taking tee shots? Did they have 9 balls on the green at one point?
I can’t even imagine it :rofl:

Believe there were only 8 in the playoff. Sent out as 2 x 4 balls. First group had to wait for the scores of the second group before play continued. 2 birdies, one bogie and rest par.
The 2 players that made birdie then played off for the one spot and the first alternate spot. I decided to leave at that point, having been there since 5am, but would imagine the 5 remaining then played for the second alternate spot.

Nice to dust off this old thread.
US open qualifiers are back at Walton heath this year - 16th May.
That's the week after the Belgium open. I wonder if the field will be worse than the good old days when it followed Wentworth.
Anyway, it's pretty much the best golf spectating of the year imho, and I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't been before.

Excellent - thanks for posting. I’d really fancy this, it appeals to me a lot more than watching pro golf with a packed gallery
99% sure I can’t make that date tho..
