WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., Adam Hadwin of Moose Jaw, Sask., and Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont. were the three Canadians to make it out of 36-hole sectional qualifying on Monday and earn berths at next weeks U.S. Open. Hadwin, who plays on the Web.com Tour, tied for first in Rockville, Maryland and qualified for the main draw. Hearn finished second in Columbus, while Hughes earned second place in St. Louis. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont. fell short of qualifying in a playoff and is listed as a first alternate. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask. stated on his Twitter account that he withdrew from qualifying. Among other players, Charley Hoffman played so badly on the last day at the Memorial that he thought about skipping the U.S. Open qualifier. He changed his mind and now is headed to Merion. Hoffman, whose 81 was the worst score in the final round at the Memorial, opened with a 7-under 65 at The Lakes and followed with a 68 at Brookside to lead a group of 15 players who qualified for the U.S. Open. The Columbus-area qualifier was filled with several PGA Tour players who had been at Muirfield Village. "Frankly, I wasnt sure I was going to play in the qualifier," Hoffman said. "I didnt know if I would show up. I had been out six of the last seven weeks. That bad round got me motivated, and Sunday night I decided I didnt want to let that linger." He qualified for his third U.S. Open. Josh Teater, Robert Karlsson and Luke Guthrie pulled off an "Open double." All three qualified for the British Open in a 36-hole qualifier two weeks ago, and both earned a spot in the U.S. Open on Monday. Teater was in the group that tied for second, while Guthrie got the last spot in an 11-for-7 playoff. Others who qualified from Columbus included Nicholas Thompson, Brendan Steele, David Lingmerth and Brandt Jobe. Along with Guthrie, the other playoff survivors were Ted Potter Jr., Aaron Baddeley, Rory Sabbatini, Justin Hicks, Sang-moon Bae and Doug LaBelle II. Sabbatini, who will be making his 11th trip to the U.S. Open, got in with a birdie on the second playoff hole, just before darkness fell. Two alternates were still to be decided. "Its very grueling. Im tired, Im beat, Im ready to sit down and do nothing," he said, adding that now he has to figure out a flight plan to get to Memphis for this weeks tour event. "I got 4 hours of sleep last night. I had to wait for my clubs to arrive after they were lost. I got them in time, though." The final stage of U.S. Open qualifying stretched one end of the country to the other on Monday with 11 sites hosting 36-hole qualifiers. The two largest were built around the PGA Tour -- Columbus with 15 spots and Memphis, Tenn., with nine spots, ahead of the St. Jude Classic this week. Two sites had to return Tuesday morning to decide the final spot in a playoff -- Ryan Palmer and Zack Fischer in Dallas, and 15-year-old David Snyder and John Nieporte in the Bradenton, Fla., qualifer. The surprise in Memphis was Kevin Sutherland. He is recovering from a neck injury that kept him out much of last season, has made only one cut this year and hasnt competed on Sunday. He had his older brother, former tour player David Sutherland, caddie for him and produced rounds of 66-67 to qualify for his first U.S. Open since 2009 at Bethpage Black. The heroics belonged to Scott Langley, a PGA Tour rookie who nailed down a spot on the strength of a hole-in-one in his second round. Also advancing at Colonial Country Club outside Memphis were Shawn Stefani, Jerry Kelly, Morgan Hoffmann, Joe Ogilvie, Alistair Presnell, Andrew Svoboda and mini-tour player Brandon Crick. Scott Stallings, who tied for fourth in the Memorial and then flew down to Tennessee, was the odd man out in a 3-for-2 playoff. The day was not without a bizarre disqualification. Two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen was in the Rockville, Md., qualifier, but only for one round. After opening with a 75, it was discovered he was wearing steel spikes, typical on the PGA Tour but not allowed at Woodmont Country Club. All players were notified about the ban on spikes in a letter dated May 20 -- it was the second item, right above a notification that shorts were allowed. The only two sectional sites that allow steel spikes are the two PGA Tour locations in Ohio and Memphis. The U.S. Open championship, which starts June 13, also allows metal spikes. Calgarys Stephen Ames and Ottawas Brad Fritsch failed to qualify out of the Colonial Country Club in Memphis, Tenn. Torontos Richard Jung and Chris Hemmerich of Kitchener, Ont., missed the cut in Springfield, Ohio. Garrett Rank of Elmire, Ont., missed qualifying at Ball Ground, Ga. Christopher Ross and Christian Westhorpe missed the cut in Bradenton, Fla. Michael Gligic of Burlington, Ont., and Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., just missed qualifying at Cle Elum, Wash., and were designated as alternates. Calgarys Wess Heffernan, Eugene Wong of North Vancouver, B.C., Mark Hoffman of Thornhill, Ont., Darren Wallace of Langley, B.C., Calgarys Scott Stiles, Victorias Cory Renfrew, David Markle of Shelburne, Ont., Devin Carrey of Surrey, B.C., and James Allenby of Langley failed to advance. In other qualifiers: -- In Ball Ground, Ga., Michael Kim atoned for Cals failure to win the NCAA title by earning a spot in the U.S. Open. Kim might have had the longest trip to get to Merion next week for the second major championship. Cal ended its dream season by losing in the NCAA semifinals on Saturday. Kim was in Ohio on Sunday to receive the Jack Nicklaus Award as the top Division I player -- presented by Nicklaus himself -- and then he returned to Georgia for qualifying. He had rounds of 67-66 at Hawks Ridge in Ball Ground, Ga. to tie for medallist honours and earn one of three spots. -- In Springfield, Ohio, Brian Stuard earned one of two spots with rounds of 65-64 to win medallist honours by six shots. It will be his first major championship. -- In New York, 18-year-old Gavin Hall birdied his last four holes to get into his first U.S. Open. He shared medallist honours with Jesse Smith in getting one of four spots. The fourth and final spot went to Jim Herman, who has Richard Sterne to thank for that. Sterne, eligible through his world ranking, withdrew from the U.S. Open, so the USGA awarded an extra spot to the New York qualifier. -- In Rockville, Md., the other qualifiers included Russell Knox of Scotland, Mathew Goggin of Australia. It did not include Sam Saunders, the grandson of Arnold Palmer, who bogeyed his last hole. Golf Channel reported that he missed a tap-in early in this round, and Saunders wound up losing out on the last spot in a playoff. That went to Matt Bettencourt. -- In Dallas, 19-year-old Jordan Spieth can add the U.S. Open to his burgeoning schedule. He ran off three late birdies and shared medallist honours with Edward Loar and Matt Weibring. The fourth spot featured a 2-for-1 playoff between PGA Tour winner Palmer and Fischer. -- In Washington state, Wil Collins and Cheng-Tsung Pan earned the two spots. Casey Martin, the golf coach at Oregon, opened with a 77 and tied for 21st. -- In St. Louis, 54-year-old Jay Don Blake was the medallist . Blake wasnt even going to play until he received a letter in the mail earlier this year that he was exempt into the second stage. He figured he might as well give it a try. -- At Newport Beach, Calif., Max Homa made it two Golden Bears in the U.S. Open. He joined fellow amateur Cory McElyea in getting the two spots in a playoff. Among the other five who qualified was Roger Tambellini and Bio Kim. -- In Bradenton, Fla., amateur Kevin Phelan was medallist .

Twenty-four years later, Tom has repeated the feat. Neither of them are likely to have been waiting for this day - it is far too obscure for any family to dwell on - but if they were, it would have been an exercise in waiting much like the junior Lathams innings itself.More than the shots he played, Lathams knock was characterised by those he didnt and those he struggled to get away. He executed the plan New Zealand stressed before they came into this series: that they would need to be patient. Everyone from coach Mike Hesson to captain Kane Williamson, to pace spearhead Tim Southee to Latham himself used the word. It was repeated so often, many had become impatient at hearing it but Latham showed it had ingrained itself in their approach.There were leaves at the end of the first day, when he wanted to make sure his team got to stumps unscathed, and leaves in the nineties when he wanted to make sure he got to his century. There were well-timed shots saved by the inner ring and ones that were held up by a sluggish outfield. In between that there were some drives and sweeps and hard-sought singles that took Latham to a century carved from assiduousness. Although Zimbabwes attack is not the most threatening and the Queens pitch was not the most hostile, Lathams concentration was crucial to his success, simple because it would have been so easy for it to crack.That much was obvious early on, when Latham wanted a run but Martin Guptill didnt, the ball was stopped at cover and both batsmen were stranded mid-pitch. Luckily for them, the throw was sent to the wrong end but they were warned. Even in Zimbabwe, a casual error could end an innings.So could a lazy stroke, as Guptill showed. Donald Tiripano or Michael Chinouya hung several balls outside the off stump and Latham could have been tempted to drive more often, as Gutpill did to Chamu Chibhabha, but he resisted. Later in his innings, when the going was easier against Sikandar Raza, Latham could have swept a little more but he held back any instinct to find runs quickly and focused on hanging around.It was important that we occupied the crease, he said. It was nice that Guptill and I managed to build a decent partnership at the top and then when Kane came in, we just continued that momentum.An opening stand of 79 and a second-wicket partnership of 156 ensured New Zealand had a lead by midway through the second session but even then, Latham held back.dddddddddddd As Graeme Cremer started asking more questions, Latham was even more watchful. He got into line well even though he was occasionally deceived in flight and admitted that was the toughest thing about this knock. I found him the hardest for face with the ball turning and bouncing and the catchers round the bat, Latham said.And then he got lucky. Chibhabha got on to move back into him and take the inside edge but Brian Chari could not hold on. Latham was on 85 at the time. He took another 38 balls to bring up his century. Among them were more indippers from Chibhabha and a few rippers from Cremer, including a googly. There were also some inviting short balls from Hamilton Masakadza but Latham, in cautious mode, let them go unpunished. He waited until he could scamper a single to bring up his hundred, his third outside of New Zealand which speaks to his ability to adapt.Its nice to come over here and get a hundred in foreign conditions. Thats the biggest thing - with playing around the world, its about scoring runs in different conditions, he said.So what did he make of the surface at Queens? It is starting to get slower and turn a bit more, he said, which means New Zealand want to bat for as long as possible in the first innings to avoid doing it again in the second.We need to build a couple of big partnerships and look to build a big lead. As a batsman, if you get in and you get the pace of the wicket it gets easier, he said. But it looks like it is going to deteriorate towards the end which is also a good sign for us when we do get a chance with the ball. Weve got two great spinners in our team so hopefully we can push for a win.Latham gives the impression that the victory will mean more to him than the hundred that follows his fathers. He spoke about being able to contribute to the team, something that has become a catch-phrase among a close New Zealand unit. Still, he savoured the knowledge that he had repeated something his father did that very few sons can say they have done too. I only realised it when I came off. It is pretty nice for us to have both scored hundreds here. ' ' '
