Dean Wilson is in and Parker McLachlin is not after yesterday's 36-hole qualifying in Upper Arlington, Ohio, for the upcoming U.S. Open.

Wilson, a Castle High alum and former Kane'ohe resident, shot 6-under 137 at the par-71 Brookside and par-72 Ohio State Scarlet courses to become one of 23 players at the sectional qualifier to earn a trip to Torrey Pines.

He finished tied for eighth with the qualifying score being 139. Those tied at 139 amounted to more than 23 players and had to playoff for the final spots.

McLachlin, a Punahou School alum and former Honolulu resident, shot 2-over 145 and tied for 65th.

One big name to make it is Davis Love III, whose streak of 70 consecutive majors ended when he failed to qualify for the Masters.

Love shot an opening 72 at Brookside and followed that with a 5-under 66 at the tougher Ohio State Scarlet Course.

It was one of 13 qualifiers held yesterday in the United States, with another one in Europe.

Most of the PGA Tour players were at the Columbus sectional, having been in town for the Memorial. Love and Fred Couples each played four days at Muirfield Village, then had to get up before the break of dawn to join 144 players.

Couples, who had said this might be the last time he tries to qualify, opened with a 69 at Brookside, but a 72 on the Scarlet kept him out of the playoff by two shots. He didn't sign his scorecard and was disqualified.

Eleven players were competing for the final seven spots.

Carl Pettersson was the medalist at 131, followed by Bart Bryant at 134. Others who qualified included Ben Crane, Joe Ogilvie, Nick Watney and Jesper Parnevik.
