Durham, Turner U.S. Open bound

Area golfers Taryn Durham and Marci Turner are in the cast for the grandest show in women’s golf.

The two women survived the drama of separate two-round qualifying events Monday in different states to secure spots in the U.S. Women’s Open that begins June 28 at Pine Needles Golf Course in Southern Pines, N.C.

Turner shot even par (73-71) at Keith Hills Country Club in Buies Creek, N.C., capping off her second round with a birdie on the par-5 18th to finish second and take her place among the field of the world’s elite players.

“Rules officials kept coming around so we knew what we had to shoot,” Turner said Monday evening. “I knew I had to have a birdie on the last hole and that’s what I did.”

As it turned out, the University of Tennessee senior could have qualified with par, but Turner left nothing to chance. She hit her third shot within two feet of the hole and steadied her nerves long enough to drain the putt.

“I was nervous because it was right over a bunker,” she said. “I was shaking over my putt a little bit but I had to hold my self down and somehow make the putt.

“There was no doubt when I hit it.”

Durham’s day was quite different than Turner’s. The senior at Middle Tennessee State University had to literally endure some dark moments to secure her place in the spotlight.

Needing to get down in two from about 30 feet on the final hole to qualify, Durham raced her putt well past the hole and missed her par putt that left her in a playoff with seven players vying for four spots.

“I was really disappointed,” she said. “My adrenaline was going and I just hit it too far. I knew that putt meant a lot.”

Durham waited 45 minutes after her final hole before learning of the playoff, which began as the sun waned in the Illinois sky over The Village Links of Glen Ellyn.

She parred the first playoff hole that left five women for three spots and survived a knee-knocking six-footer on the second that would have eliminated her.

“I was afraid that might have been the end for me,” Durham said.

The save gave her new life that even darkness couldn’t contain. With the sun already set, the women left agreed to keep playing on the third hole, a 181-yard, par 3.

“I was last to tee off and I could hardly see to put my tee in the ground,” Durham said. “I was afraid I might top it.”
