Memorial winner won't play Open
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Justin Rose now has plenty of time to celebrate his big win at the Memorial. One day after his first victory in America, he failed to qualify for the U.S. Open on Monday.
Major champions Tom Lehman, Davis Love III and Ben Curtis led 15 players who earned spots in the U.S. Open, while Rose and the youngster he beat at Muirfield Village — 21-year-old Rickie Fowler — did not.
Fowler, who was atop the leaderboard at the Memorial for 48 consecutive holes, had a 73 in the afternoon to miss by six shots.
