- Dentist and amateur golfer Matt Vogt earned a spot in this week’s 125th U.S. Open, held at Oakmont Country Club.
- Vogt earned his spot by shooting back-to-back 68s to claim one of two qualifying places at Wine Valley Golf Club against over 10,000 entrants.
- Vogt, who caddied at Oakmont for five years, returns while coping with his father Jim's death from colon cancer two months ago, with the event's climax near Father's Day.
- He admitted that given all the renovations happening at Oakmont and the magnitude of the Open, he tried not to get his hopes up, knowing it was nearly impossible to make it there.
- Vogt's participation draws local and national interest, boosting his dental practice and symbolizing perseverance amid personal loss during this major tournament.
