Louis-area pro JC Anderson shot 72 to tie for 13th place in the 61-man field. They both made their birdies, so it was well-deserved for them.вЂќ I tried to hit a miraculous (second) shot, but I had to make birdie.

#DAVE ERICKSON GOLF DRIVER#

вЂњI tried to take a little off the driver and I just kind of tugged it, and thatвЂ™s jail over there. вЂњI think Alex (Burge) hit 3-wood, that might have been the shot if IвЂ™d had my old 3-wood, but I only had a 5-wood. вЂњI knew theyвЂ™d go for the green on nine, so I hit driver,вЂќ said Erickson, who had honors on the tee. Knowing he almost had to birdie to stay alive, he aimed for a small opening through a tree, but the ball clipped a branch and it took three shots to get on the green. But Erickson hit driver far left of the green, between the cart path and the creek. On the 310-yard ninth hole, Burge and Slattery both reached the green on their drives. They all missed their (birdie) putts, so IвЂ™m thinking, вЂIf I make this, IвЂ™m in.вЂ™ But sometimes they donвЂ™t go in.вЂќ вЂњI hit a really good putt there it just didnвЂ™t break as much as I thought it would at the end,вЂќ Erickson said.

Pyne bogeyed the hole, leaving three alive going to the third extra hole. It missed to the high side, and he tapped in for par. вЂњThat was big.вЂќДЄfter the other three missed long birdie putts on the par-3 11th hole, Erickson got his chance with a long, downhill, right-to-left breaking putt.

вЂњIt broke left to right, but it almost didnвЂ™t break enough it just fell in,вЂќ Erickson said of the par putt on 10. But he made the par-saving putt, and the other three also parred. 10, Erickson missed the green to the right and chipped about 7 feet past the hole. Bloomington pros Kyle English and Brandon Holtz tied for first place with 69s.Д®rickson, who shot a 37 on the front nine but came back with a 33 on the back, joined University of Illinois golfer Alex Burge, Bloomington pro Casey Pyne and Taylor Ridge pro Kurt Slattery in the playoff. He conceded after the other two golfers birdied the hole, and he had to settle for second alternate for a berth in the 36-hole sectional qualifiers on June 6.Д®rickson shot a 1-under-par 70 Monday, tying with three others for the third and last qualifying spot. As it turned out, it was his last, best opportunity to reach the next level on the road to the Open.Д®rickson, the defending MenвЂ™s City Golf Tournament champion, got into trouble on the third extra hole: the par-4 No. Open Local Qualifying round on Monday at Illini Country Club.Д®rickson narrowly missed a tougher putt that would have won the playoff on the second extra hole. Jake Erickson made a difficult, par-saving putt to stay alive in a playoff for the final qualifying spot in the U.S.
