COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 4<\/span> (Reuters) – U.S. Ryder Cup captain
\nDavis Love III will tee off at his 23rd U.S. Open at Olympic
\nClub this month after making the grade at a qualifier in
\nColumbus on Monday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Love finished in a tie for sixth at Scioto Country Club and
\nOhio State’s Scarlet Course, seven shots behind Charlie Wi, but
\nwell inside the top 16 at the biggest of 11 sectional qualifiers
\nof the day.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Final qualifying places are yet to be determined, with a
\ndeluge at the sectional in Memphis, Tennessee, forcing the
\npostponement of the 36-hole event until Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Love will be joined at the June 14-17 U.S. Open by Kevin
\nStreelman, D.A. Points, Steve Marino and Australia’s Rod
\nPampling.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Journeyman Spencer Levin and South Africa’s Rory Sabbatini
\nfailed to qualify, however, a day after being in the final group
\nat the Memorial Tournament where they were unable to hold off
\nTiger Woods on his charge to victory.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“That was a grind for sure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen
\ngreens get that hard, that fast, except at a U.S. Open. It was
\nunbelievable,” Love said of qualifying.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“You could have had the U.S. Open on either one of these
\ncourses today. I did a really nice job concentrating over the
\nlast four or five holes and that gets you ready for a U.S.
\nOpen.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Former U.S. junior amateur champion Jordan Spieth
\nthree-putted from 20 feet in a playoff in Houston to miss out to
\nAustralian Alistair Presnell. Brian Rowell and Bob Estes had
\nalready claimed spots.
