A big day today...the last day of the Virtual U.S. Open Qualifier on World Golf Tour, plus the last day of the 2012 U.S. Open, and it's Father's Day in many countries.

On the Virtual U.S. Open leaderboard, the Cut Line is currently at 57, meaning that anyone at 57 or better should advance to the Championship Rounds next week to compete for the 2012 title and the grand prize trip to next year's U.S. Open.
There are 4 players at the very top of the leaderboard posting scores of 53, including JayJensen, Ffudd, genorb and Win1Soon, so they're players to keep an eye on in the championship. But there are another 13 players just 1 stroke behind at 54, including former champion BolloxInBruges. And last year's champion mrenn29 who has safely qualified at 55. In fact, mrenn29 is in San Francisco this weekend enjoying his grand prize trip to this year's U.S. Open...sweet!
Remember, the Championship Rounds are single-play rounds, and the pressure increases significantly, so keep practicing on Olympic while you have the chance.
The top 156 scores (plus ties, which is currently 195 players) in the Qualifiier will not only qualify to play in the Championship Rounds, but all will receive a USGA 1-year membership and U.S. Open hat. See prize details and country eligibility.
And new this year, another player, regardless of their qualifying score, will be selected at random to win the grand prize trip to next year's U.S. Open, to be announced next week. So if you can't break par on Olympic, don't worry and have fun, as you've still got a chance to win!
