BRISTOL, R.I. – Ed Kirby, Head Coach for the Roger Williams University Men's Golf team, can still play and he proved it on Monday by punching his ticket to the U.S. Senior Open. Kirby posted a one-under 69 at the Hatherly Country Club in Massachusetts to qualify.
 
"I truly appreciate the support (from the Roger Williams community)," Kirby said. "I really look forward to representing RWU on the national stage!"

In a pressure packed one day qualifier, Kirby opened with a birdie on the first hole to get to one-under.
 
After four straight pars, he dropped another birdie on the sixth hole to move to two-under and inside the projected cut line.
 
However, a bogey on eight send him backwards, turning at 34.
 
On the backside, Kirby parred seven straight holes before bogeying the 17th hole to drop back to even.
 
The Aquidneck Club pro needed a birdie on the last to get inside the cut and that's exactly what he did.
 
Kirby drained the birdie putt on 18, pumped his fists in the air as the putt dropped and he was in the U.S. Senior Open.
