Sim earns tee times for U.S. & British Opens
Dec. 13, 2009 - 4:10 PM ET
By virtue of finishing atop the Australian Tour order of merit, Michael Sim has earned berths in the 2010 U.S. and British Opens.
The qualifier for the U.S. Open allows the top-2 from the order of merit to play in the major provided that they are inside the top-75 in the world ranking. Sim is 50th. Earnings runner-up, Alistair Presnell, is 374th and does not get an invite. The top-50 in the world ranking on December 28 will earn exemptions into the Masters. Sim has yet to qualify for the season's first major.
