Scott Barr has fired a brilliant 2nd round of 8-under par 63 to qualify for the 111th US Open Championship!
After an opening round of 72 at the Sectional Qualifying held at Ibaraki Golf Club in Japan, Barr then reeled off an impressive haul of 10 birdies in his 2nd round to finish with a total of 7-under par and claim top honours alongside Korea's Kim Do Hoon and Japan's Kenichi Kuboya. The 4th and final US Open Qualifying spot went to Korea's Bae Sang Moon in a playoff over Kim Dae Hyun.
Scott now becomes the 6th Australasian player to enter the 2011 US Open field after Michael Campbell, Geoff Ogilvy, Adam Scott, Jason Day, Robert Allenby and Aaron Baddeley, who are all exempt. The 2011 US Open will be played at Congressional Country Club from June 16-19.
Congratulations Scott on a terrific effort!
