The number of qualifying spots is determined by the USGA and will be known the morning of June 2nd.

Pace of Play

The USGA's Pace of Play Policy is in effect. Basically, if a group is over the maximum allotted time and out of position with the group ahead, the Committe may put the group "on the clock" and begin individual timing of players. A player's first bad time is no penalty, a second bad time results in a one stroke penalty, and so on. Click here to view the complete policy.
