Drake Duncan makes US Open cut at Nicholasville, KY Duncan, a 2012 graduate of South Warren High School, is the grandson of Richard Lee and Marsha Walker of Columbia, KY, and the son of Leigh Ann Duncan Parkinson of Bowling Green, KY. He has played the course at The Pines at Lindsey Wilson on several occasions. Click on headline for full story, photo(s) Special to ColumbiaMagazine.com Drake Duncan birdied the third hole of an 8-man playoff at the Local Qualifier to secure the final spot and advance to Sectional qualifying for the U.S. Open Championship. Duncan and seven other competitors, all of whom are club or touring professionals, were tied at one-over-par after the 18-hole round. He is the only amateur to advance from the Nicholasville qualifier, at Champion Trace Golf Course, Nicholasville, KY, on May 14, 2012. The field included 82 players from Canada and approximately 14 states across the U.S. Of the 9,006 entries for local qualifiers in 2012, Duncan is one of only 550 golfers to survive local qualifying and advance to the 36-hole sectional portion. At the sectional level, those qualifying at the local level are joined by pros from various top global tours and elite amateurs who were exempt from local qualifying. Less than 100 of those competing at the sectional level will advance to the U.S. Open Championship, to be held June 11-17, 2012, at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, CA. With the close of entries on April 25, the road to the 2012 U.S. Open Championship at The Olympic Club in San Francisco June 14-17 has officially begun. This year the USGA accepted 9,006 entries, just the fourth time entries went beyond 9,000 and only 80 shy of the all-time record set in 2009 when the Open was contested at Bethpage State Park's Black Course in Farmingdale, NY. For 94.6 percent of the applicants (8,527 golfers), the arduous path to tee it up at The Olympic Club commences with 18-hole local qualifying at 109 sites across the country. From Rhode Island to Alaska, and from Florida to Hawaii, professionals and amateurs with a USGA Handicap Index not exceeding 1.4, hope to fulfill their ultimate dream of playing with the world's best players. The harsh reality is just 6.4 percent of the competition (550 players) will actually survive local qualifying and advance to the 36-hole sectional portion of qualifying. At the sectional level, they will be joined by another group of golfers who were exempt from local qualifying. Golfers exempt from local qualifying include pros from various top global tours and elite amateurs who meet certain performance criteria. Sectional qualifying takes place at 11 U.S.-based sites and two international locations from May 21-June 4, 2012.. A sectional in Japan is set for May 21 and the England qualifier will be staged on May 28. The 11 U.S. sectional qualifiers will take place June 4, 2012. Following the completion of sectional qualifying, the USGA will have its final field of 156 - approximately half the field is fully exempt from qualifying - for the 112th U.S. Open, and those golfers will play for one of the world's most coveted titles.
