Weir among U.S. Open qualifiers at Dallas sectional

Former Masters champ Mike Weir was among 10 players who qualified for next month’s U.S. Open at a sectional qualifier Monday in Dallas.

Weir, who turned 49 earlier this month, shot rounds of 67-69 to finish in a tie for fifth among the 102-player field. This will mark just his second U.S. Open appearance since 2010, and his first major outside Augusta since a T-28 finish at Merion in 2013. Weir racked up four top-10 finishes in seven U.S. Open starts from 2003-09, including a T-3 finish at Olympia Fields months after winning the 2003 Masters.

Former PGA Tour winners Brendon Todd and Nick Taylor shared medalist honors at 10-under 131, while Mexico’s Carlos Ortiz finished two shots back in third.
