Zack Fischer qualifies for the U.S. Open
UT Arlington grad Zack Fischer became UTA’s second all-time qualifier into the U.S. Open, joining Greg Gregory. Fischer won a 12 hole, sudden-death, playoff over PGA Tour veteran Ryan Palmer to earn a spot at Merion Golf Club. The 12-hole playoff was the longest in sectional qualifying history, taking place in Dallas. At Merion, Fischer fired a 82 and a 76 at a course in which no golfer shot par for the week and despite the struggles, didn’t erase what the golfer had accomplished. “It humbles you on how good you actually are,” said Fischer, a member of the 2011 Southland Conference championship team and 2009 SLC individual medalist. “I didn’t play that poorly. I was just flustered mentally after making some bogeys and doubles. Then I really started panicking and made more mistakes. The USGA really got what they wanted when it came to my mental game.” Fischer earned his first professional paycheck by making the cut at the 2013 HP Byron Nelson Championship in May.
