Shane Bacon is a familiar face on the golf world, but his U.S. Open qualifying attempt amounts to unprecedented crossover.
Man ... have always wanted to get through local qualifying. Can’t believe it happened. Putted like a mad man. Pitched in from 30 yards for an eagle on a par-5. Actually accomplishing something with wedges and woods is exhilarating. Shoutout to all that got through today.

Bacon on the job (USGA/Darren Carroll) |
Signed up for U.S. Amateur qualifying today. Still think one of the most underrated things about golf is that you can just randomly sign up online to possibly be a part of the oldest championship in American golf. It takes 5 minutes and boom, the dreams start to dance.
