Thanks guys. There were two other qualifying rounds over the past two weeks. One at Radnor Valley CC and one at Golden Oaks. I've never played either course, so the choice of sites was easy for me. Before joining Tavistock, I was a member at Little Mill for a few years.
Besides the qualifiers, the rest of the field is made up of players who are exempt from last year's finish or winners of various events.
It is always a treat to be able to compete at Merion, I'm sure the Philly Open will be a fun day.
