The 2013 U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying is already underway, but the United States portion begins on Monday, June 3, spread across 11 sectional sites. Each site hosts a tournament where golfers play 36 holes in competition for a limited number of spots, based on the quantity and quality of the field at a given sectional. Longer and more taxing than an average day in the life of a professional golfer, the events present unique challenges and can see some big surprises come out of the field.
