Grant Waite, a New Zealand native now living in Salt Lake City, qualified for next week's U.S. Open golf championship by shooting a 138 in a New York-area sectional tournament Tuesday.
Waite, who recently won the Kemper Open, shot an even-par 70 on the Old Oaks Country Club course and added a 3-under-par 68 on the Century Country Club course to make the Open cut.
