Hearn, Hadwin and Hughes qualify for US Open.....live scoring links to all

Today there are 35 Canadians trying to qualify for the US Open. Played over 36 holes in one day, sectional qualifying is a test of skill and endurance, with only a handful of available spots at each site, the number of qualifying spots is determined by the quality and quantity of the field at each location. With qualifying taking place at 11 sites around the country, U.S.-based sectional qualifying is known as "golf's longest day"

For example Roger Sloane has just played his front nine in -7 29. I will expand coverage and give all their scores as they come in each day.
