As if the U.S. Open doesn't have enough firepower, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski took a big step toward playing in this summer's U.S. Open on Monday, winning a local qualifier at The Country Club at DC Ranch in Scottsdale, with none other than Gary McCord caddying for him, according to Golf Digest.
The 27-year-old Canadian fired a 5-under 65 with seven birdies to move on to 36-hole sectional qualifying, where he could earn his way into the field for the U.S. Open at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club.
“People figure you hit it a long way you ought to be able to shoot low, but you still have to get it in the hole, and I did that pretty well," Sadlowski told Golf Digest.
