Veteran Love qualifies his 23rd US Open

Davis Love III is going back to The Olympic Club for the US Open, this time as the 48-year-old Ryder Cup captain and not the reigning PGA champion.
Even more stunning is that Casey Martin and his cart will be there, too.
A full day of US Open qualifying on Monday ended in Oregon with Martin, now the 40-year-old golf coach at Oregon, making a 5-foot par putt on his last hole to earn a spot next week at Olympic, where in 1998 he tied for 23rd while riding in a cart. Martin has a rare circulatory disorder in his right leg, and he eventually won his lawsuit against the PGA Tour to ride.
