Golf: Ramsay misses out on US Open
Ramsay missed out by a matter of minutes.
WALTON HEATH:
Briton Richie Ramsay missed a playoff to decide a US Open berth when he left Monday’s international qualifying event early to try to attend a friend’s wedding reception. Ramsay went back to the Walton Heath course on the outskirts of London but missed out by a matter of minutes on the playoff which was won by Johan Edfors in near darkness when the Swede beat Denmark’s Andreas Harto at the first extra hole. “I feel suicidal right now,” said Scot Ramsay after dashing back to the course having missed his flight to fellow professional Gareth Maybin’s reception.
