Dean Wilson is in and Parker McLachlin is not after today's 36-hole qualifying in Upper Arlington, Ohio, for the upoming U.S. Open.

Wilson, a Castle High alumn and former Kaneohe resident, shot 6-under 137 at the par-71 Brookside and par-72 Ohio State Scarlet courses to become one of 23 players at the sectional qualifier to earn a trip to Torrey Pines.

He finished tied for eighth with the qualifying score being 139. Those tied at 139 amounted to more than 23 players and had to playoff for the final spots.

McLachlin, a Punahou School alum and former Honolulu resident, shot 2-over 145 and tied for 65th.

One big name is make it is Davis Love III, whose streak of 70 consecutive majors ended when he failed to qualify for the Masters.

Love shot an opening 72 at Brookside and followed that with a 5-under 66 at the tougher Ohio State Scarlet Course.

It was one of 13 qualifiers held today in the United States, with another one in Europe.

Most of the PGA Tour players were at the Columbus sectional, having been in town for the Memorial. Love and Fred Couples each played four days at Muirfield Village, then had to get up before the break of dawn to join 144 players.

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.

Eleven players were competing for the final seven spots.

Carl Pettersson was the medalist at 131, followed by Bart Bryant at 134. Of those who made it, none was more thrilled than Pat Perez, who said last week he would rather qualify for the U.S. Open than win the Memorial.

Perez grew up around Torrey Pines, worked at the public golf course as a teenager and figures he has played there over 1,000 times.

Others who qualified included Ben Crane, Joe Ogilvie, Nick Watney and Jesper Parnevik. Kevin Tway, a former U.S. Junior Amateur champion and son of former PGA champion Bob Tway, also qualified.

Among those sitting out were Jay Haas, who won the Senior PGA Championship a week ago, and Tom Lehman, who once went three straight years playing in the final group at the U.S. Open but never won.

In other qualifiers:

— Jason Bohn, Matt Kuchar and D.J. Trahan qualified at Ansley Golf Club in Roswell, Ga., although Trahan took the third and final spot in a playoff. Ollie Schniederjans, at 14 the youngest of more than 830 players to reach sectional qualifying, shot 72-76 to finish well back.

Billy Andrade failed to qualify.

— 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.
