Hurley set for Tour debut

Tour debut for former Navy officer in Hawaii



Billy Hurley will make his debut as a full member of the PGA Tour on Thursday at the Sony Open - just two and a half years after leaving his position as a lieutenant in the US Navy.

Hurley will join the likes of Tournament of Champions winner Steve Stricker, world number seven Webb Simpson and KJ Choi in Hawaii, where Mark Wilson won last year.

Hurley spent two years of active duty aboard the USS Chung-Hoon, a missile destroyer based in Pearl Harbour, before leaving in 2009 and setting his sights on succeeding as a professional golfer.

While at the Naval Academy, the 29-year-old had excelled in the amateur game and played in the Palmer Cup and Walker Cup teams.

The Navy was set to give Hurley the chance to play full-time on the PGA Tour but he was unable to earn his card. - http://www1.skysports.com/

Trio secure Open spots

Cullen and Hall win play-off; Townsend top qualifying



Nicholas Cullen and Ashley Hall came through a play-off to join fellow Australian Aaron Townsend in sealing a place at The Open Championship.

Townsend ensured his place at Royal Lytham & St Annes by carding an impressive best-of-the-day one-under 70 at the Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne after play had been held up for two hours because of severe winds.

That took him to four-under for his two rounds, and a three-shot lead over Cullen, Hall and Peter Senior.

The trio went into a play-off to decide the remaining two places, but it was Senior who missed out.

Senior, a veteran of 18 Opens who finished sixth at Lytham in 1988, could only par the first play-off hole, allowing Cullen and Hall to book their places with birdies. - http://www1.skysports.com
