Congrats to Yvette O'Brien, who outplayed pro and former U. of Florida All-American Maisie Filler down the stretch to win the Connecticut Women's Open. O'Brien and Filler were tied with 3 holes to play, but Yvette finished birdie-par-birdie to win by 3. She has now won the Connecticut Girls Junior (x2), Women's Amateur, and Women's Open--first player to win all three events.

Hat tip to Lois Lau, who will not be playing the weekend but shot a second-round 69 at Riviera in U.S. Open conditions. Nice bounce-back round to cap her first major as a pro.

Golf's longest day--36-hole final qualifying for the U.S. Open at 10 sites. Here's what I know about competitors linked to TCU:

• Sam Udovich is playing in Westerville, OH (51 competitors for 4 spots). He made the Round 1 turn in -3 (T8). He's got a shot.
• Lewis Wright is playing in Purchase, NY (78 for 4). He is on the last hole of Round 1 and at +5 is not likely to advance.

Udovich with 4 straight birdies to get to -8, T2, with 11 holes to play.

Edit: He's now -10, a stroke clear of 3 Tour winners.

Edit2: Bogey-bogey finish leaves him in a 4-for-3 playoff.

Edits3 & 4: Golf Monthly is reporting that there will be 5 qualifiers instead of 4, so no playoff needed. Golf Monthly confirmed a 4-for-3 playoff.

Edit5: Udovich drives it into the penalty area on the first playoff hole and is eliminated with a double bogey. Wow--tough end. Would have like to see him join Celli at Shinnecock.
