Long trip pays off for Devlin
LAKE POWELLChris Devlin made sure he had the time for Monday's USGA U.S. Open Local Qualifier at Shark's Tooth Golf Club.The Birmingham, Ala., resident and Northern Ireland native took a break from the Hooters Tour to try to qualify for last weekend's Nationwide Tour event in Fort Smith, Ark. After missing the tournament, he and his wife made the 800-mile trip here.The break in his schedule paid off.In his fifth Local Qualifier here, Devlin, 32, qualified for his third section qualifier with a record-setting 4-under par 68. In 2006, Devlin was one stroke from qualifying for the U.S. Open. After breaking Bob Friend's 2006 competitive-round course record of 69 by a stroke, Devlin will have his shot again."I drove the ball well," Devlin said. "The course was great. A couple of greens were lightning fast. All were just so fast. You have to keep it as simple as you can. I drove the ball in the middle of the fairway. It didn't play as hard as it can."The top four golfers qualified for the sectional qualifier, held June 2 at Jupiter Hills Club in Tequesta.Mark Strickland from Woodstock, Ga., was second with a 2-under 70, and Garrett Osborn from Birmingham was third with a 72. Tallahassee's Ken Stevenson was the fourth to qualify, with a 73.The two alternates were Swede David Hanson and Hombre Golf Club pro Heath West. They defeated Todd Bailey in a three-hole playoff. All three shot 74.West was the top local participant and Richard Maddox was next best with a 75. Out of the 63 who signed up for the event, 55 finished, including Mosley senior Zach Primavera (86) and Dolphins golf coach Mike Riley (77).For Stevenson, who played with Devlin, Monday was the breakthrough he's been waiting more than a decade for.In his 12 previous local qualifiers, the best the 47-year-old insurance agent from Tallahassee finished was as an alternate. Four birdies helped him stay in the top four this year."It's awesome," a relieved Stevenson said. "It played tough. It was windy. The greens were firm. They were fast. Some of the pin locations were borderline evil but I putted great."
