Monday is golf's longest day. Hundreds of golfers all over the country are contending for a handful of spots in the 2017 U.S. Open at Erin Hills. Michael Buttacavoli was one of the 50 vying for six slots at Jupiter Hills Golf Club in Tequesta, Florida.
Unfortunately, he never got a ball off the ground as American Airlines lost his sticks, and he chose to not snap up some rentals for the 36-hole event.
Thank u @AmericanAir. 1 golf bag w/ priority tags on plane & the only bag u can't find. Unfortunately have to WD from @usopengolf sectionals

Buttacavoli is ranked No. 1,644 in the world and contends regularly on the PGA Tour Latin America. He explained that because of the time it took looking for his bag and the fact that he needs them this week for a tour event, he didn't have time to snag some rentals.
Searched for my bag + filed missing bag report. Wouldn't have made it by then. I leave tmrw to DR for next event and need clubs
