Ramsay "Suicidal" After Missing U.S. Open Qualifier Playoff
I think that's the urban term the kids use these days for "mildly depressed," but hopefully someone just kept whispering the reassuring word "Congressional" to the Scot after he missed Monday's playoff to determine the final U.S. Open spots.
Ramsay left the Walton Heath 36-hole qualifier with scores of 71 and 69 for a four- under-par tally thinking his effort was not enough to be among the 11 qualifiers for Congressional. He made his way to Heathrow but, after being stuck in traffic, he missed his flight and the wedding of Gareth Maybin.
Okay, first thing here. Who gets married on a Monday?
Sorry, go on Bernie...
Ramsay then received a call from Stephen Gallacher saying he should return as he was likely to be among three players fighting for the last position. Unfortunately, Ramsay was still 15 minutes away from the course when Andreas Hato and Johan Edfors teed up. It was Edfors who was successful.
Ramsay looked distraught in returning 9.20pm, in the dark, to be told he’d missed the chance to join Gallacher and Martin Laird as the only Scots in the June 16 Major.
“I feel suicidal,” he said. “I got a call from Stevie to say four under was in and to get back here. To miss out on the chance to play the US Open makes me feel sick.
The comments are mildly amusing - unless you Are RR

Spot RR at Gullane in 2010 - maybe GS drove him to it ......
