Golf: Local players advance in U.S. Open qualifiers

Henderson resident Jared Munk and former UNLV standout Chris Berry advanced to the sectional qualifying rounds of the U.S. Open.

Munk, Berry and Eddie Heinen each carded 68s to force a playoff at the Black Mountain Golf & Country Club Thursday afternoon.

Munk birdied the first playoff hole, the par-4 No. 1, and Berry made par. Heinen, the first alternate, bogeyed it.

Munk, a 21-year-old Henderson resident, works in the pro shop at Black Mountain. He will try to qualify for the U.S. Open at the 36-hole sectionals in Tarzana, Calif. Berry, a member of UNLV's 1998 NCAA championship team, will play in the sectionals in Memphis, Tenn.
