  Beryman:

  the rules also state this:

  Virtual U.S. Open Qualifier Prizes

  One random Sweepstakes player will win the Grand Prize trip to the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, New York where you and a friend will be the special guests of the USGA and a $500 e-giftcard to the USGA store. In addition, the top 156 scores (plus ties) will each receive 2,000 WGT Credits, plus those players will advance to the Virtual U.S. Open Championship rounds where the top score will win a second Grand Prize trip for two to the 2018 U.S. Open. See rules for details.

  did not see this before. then let's hope WGT will be generous and all qualified players will get the 2k, would only be fair

  This is very strange indeed.  If you look at the Qualifier Leaderboard:

  http://www.wgt.com/golf-tournaments/stroke-play/virtual-us-open-qualifier-leaderboard.aspx?id=26a90ef1d8b84470b46aa763015d4081

  You will see that the 2,000cr prize stops near the top of the 4th page with no prize notation on the next page and a half of qualifiers.  What is doubly puzzling is that it shows me in 146th place in the first page header, but I do not find my name anywhere on the list.

  I did qualify with a 56 on June 26th, and I do have access to play the Championship rounds.  I provided this information to WGT Support because they could not find me on the Leaderboard either.

  ...more to follow... ;P

  What's always happens is the first 156 get paid and a week or so later the rest of the qualifiers get paid.

  it reads "Top 156 plus ties" that should include everyone who qualified.

   

  therefore, all who have qualified are due 2000 credits

  I qualified and can't play. My screen (leaderboard) shows I tied with a 56, 146 position, but I can't find my name on the leaderboard, nor can I play from playing browser.

  Had fun playing the 1st round with a few ordinary clicks and reads not helping the outcome but neither did the totally weird stuff like 2 holes in a row hitting a 225 club 220 fullback with crosswinds both with a ding , the 1st one went only 197 on the full so was well short, the 2nd one went 227 on the full finishing well long,,,,,there was only a few feet elevation change on each.

  To top it off i had 70 yards for my approach on the last into a 18-20mph headwind, I hit the shot 77 yards with no spin (dinged) and the ball flew 79 yards......2 yards further than I actually hit it into that headwind.....I guess my cache was empty enough hey WGT lol.

  Good luck to all the qualifiers, didn't get my 2000 credits either....just saying

  I shot a 56 on June 1st and can't get in to play. I click play 2017 Open and it takes me to the Erin Hills page and only shows me the prizes as an option. 

  I'm running out of time to play this. Anyone else having this problem or any way I can get in through a back door? I've tried 2 different browsers and still the same thing.

  Thanks, Jeff
