Sectional Scores Trickling In Slightly Faster Than Indiana Primary Results
I threw in the towel on USOpen.com's results page at 10:30 EST and will rely on Golfweek, which has results that the USGA's official site does not have. Must be IBM's fault.
Meanwhile AP's Rusty Miler, sums up the early results and including this note about the European qualifier.
In England, Robert Dinwiddie birdied six of his last eight holes, including an 8-footer on the 18th at Walton Heath, to earn one of seven spots. The medalists were Alastair Forsyth and Ross Fisher.
Nearly 20 players withdrew, so the USGA awarded seven spots to European Tour players instead of 10.
After the Miller story, Golfweek has posted links for each qualifier's results.

Most of the PGA Tour players were at the Columbus sectional, having been in town for the Memorial. Love and Couples each played four days at Muirfield Village, then had to get up before the break of dawn.
“It’s a long week,” Love said. “That was a long, hard golf course to play and then to do anything on Monday, much less play 36 holes ... I know the guys that played four rounds over there were battle-tested, but they were also tired.”
Couples, who had said this might be the last time he tries to qualify, opened with a 69 at Brookside, but a 72 on the Scarlet kept him out of the playoff by two shots. He didn’t sign his scorecard and was disqualified.
...can't believe Duval didn't at least give it a shot.

When it's 11:00 at night and the results aren't posted, you're second-rate.
It sure would help in following a player if the USGA would let one know.
Guess I'll just have to wait for those results to be posted.A day later perhaps........
