NFL legend John Elway shoots 80, fails to qualify for U.S. Senior Open-3
Chris Johnson, of Castle Rock,
Colorado, was the other
qualifier, shooting a 2-over 72. Elway's long-shot hopes began
to fade when he put a ball into
the water and then missed a
short putt on No. 9. "I was actually playing probably
as good as I can play," Elway
said. His goal, he said, was to break
80, but the delay didn't do him
any favors. "Bad finish," he lamented. The hour and 15-minute delay
wasn't ideal for a man who
celebrates his 58th birthday
when the Open begins on June
28. "I'm afraid to sit down, I'll get
too stiff," Elway said as he
signed golf balls and some of
the No. 7 jerseys that dotted
the 200 or so members of his
gallery during the weather delay. This marked just the fourth time
the championship course also
served as a sectional qualifying
site.Source:Golf
