Peterman Takes Positives from U.S. Open Experience

Western Illinois golfer Kyle Peterman's stay at the 2009 U.S. Open wasn't as long as he had hoped, but it wasn't short on positive experiences.

Peterman, who qualified for the Open as an amateur by winning a playoff at the Grayslake Sectional Qualifier, shot a two-round score of 156 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., and missed the third round cut on Saturday, June 20.

Despite not playing as well as he hoped, Peterman said playing in the U.S. Open provided a great experience to a young golfer hoping to someday play at the next level.
