Case of the Mondays: Pro qualifies for fourth PGA Tour event in July

Chris Naegel has a serious case of the Mondays.

The 39-year-old journeyman qualified for his fifth PGA Tour event, this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic, on Monday at The Orchards in Washington, Michigan. Naegel shot 6-under 66 to tie with Luke Guthrie for the best round and earn one of four Monday-qualifying spots available for the RMC, which begins Thursday at Detroit Golf Club.

Four of Naegel’s successful Monday bids have come in July, as he also qualified for the 3M Open, Barracuda Championship and John Deere Classic. He earned a spot in last month’s U.S. Open via final qualifying, too, and finished T-56.
