Lorne Rubenstein reports that Stephen Ames qualified Tuesday for next week's U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. The 48-year-old Calgarian tied for first in the 36-hole sectional qualifier at the Germantown Country Club in Memphis, Tenn.
He shot 65-69 for a total of eight-under-par 134 to get into his 10th US Open. His best finish is a T-9 in the 2004 tournament at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y.
Ames will be the lone Canadian at Olympic. He qualified recently for next month's British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in England. He will be the only Canadian entrant there as well.
The Memphis events completes the qualifying tournaments. Originally scheduled for Monday, it was postponed until Tuesday because storms made the course unplayable.
