Husky junior golfer Nick Taylor shot a 66 in the first round and a 70 in the second to qualify for the U.S. Open in a 36-hole sectional qualifier at the Suncadia resort east of Seattle.

Canada.com has a great story about Nick qualifying for the Open, then rushing back to campus for a final exam. As the story says, he will be playing in the field alongside the likes of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson at the 109th U.S. Open from June 18-21 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y.

Taylor, a two-time All-America from Abbotsford, British Columbia, led the Huskies to a fifth-place tie at the recent NCAA Championships.
