Shock US Open qualifier Matt Vogt says his dentistry job has received “Tone inquiries” since he performed this week’s field in Oakmont this week, as the amateur Golfer has been thinking about the “absolute dream of a pipe” of playing on Major.
In a fairytale story from last week’s last qualifying events, a 34 -year -old VOGT – which took 1,173 in the world amateur ladder. – He finished eight in accordance with two rounds to win Washington and secure a debut place in Major.
The qualification for Oakmont has a special significance for Vogt, since it grew up half an hour away from the Pittsburgh trail, and has been there for five years.
Since 2018, Vogt has led his own dental practice in Indianapolis, and on Monday it is about appearing in a press conference before the event on Monday about whether he received more calls than his secured US Open Place, he replied: “I think they got a ton of investigation.
“I have such a great team, I have friends who help me with all these messages and inquiries and say, ‘Hey, guys, forward those Chris, my friend, and make sure you stay focused on patients, because that’s what we do at McCordsville, Indiana’.
“It was a lot of fun. Some patients who also provide dentists. I feel that there are so many people behind me – oakmont, Pittsburgh, dentistry – it was fun.
“Honestly, from a business perspective, that’s not what is being done. We try to take good care of people, and if he brings us more great patients we can help, phenomenal. This will give us something about talking about maybe in the office.”
Vogt admitted that although last week “he felt like it had been three years in about six days,” the whole experience proved “amazing”.
“So so so,” he said he appeared in Major so close to his hometown.
“Honestly, with restoration works here in Oakmont and everything that happens to the open, I try not to pay attention to it because I knew it was the absolute dream of a tube to get here.
“It’s for the best professionals in the world, let alone amateurs. So I almost didn’t want to think too much about it.
“I’m still trying to like everything, but not too sentimental to this because it’s amazing. I mean, where we are currently sitting is not far from where I just sat in a Kadi yard and waited for people on the range, or walked straight to this path to Caddy Shack, porch in front of the club house – or outside the store.
“Even as I just talk about it now, I’m becoming sentimental. This place means so much to me.”
While Caddy was in Oakmont, Vogt said he could play the course on Monday night, even though he admitted, “I mean, thinking about it now, we should have been here every Monday, but I would lie if I said we were.”
Years later and, ending the first practice, he noticed one significant change on his return.
“It’s rough about four inches larger, five inches more. It’s rude most of them,” he said.
“This course is so good throughout the year, and rough is the biggest change or the biggest thing I noticed.
“When you still see here, you don’t really look at the golf course in a lens like a golf course at a tour level, so it was interesting. I’m going around and thinking about playing a golf course at this point of my life, so it was a bit of change.
“As if I know everything that is happening, but not to the level of the detail you need to play at the US Open.
“It’s been a mentally exhausting several days just started learning a little golf course.”
And on his golf course until this moment, Vogt recounted: “I actually never had any pursuit of a professional golf course. I feel like only in the junior golf, as if I was a pretty good junior. I went to Butler University and played very briefly on the golf team, and then I decided to focus on school.
“Honestly, maybe I didn’t dream big enough or maybe, I don’t know, I never had it. I played around many guys that you could say he had him and had the opportunity to make a shot in a professional golf. It never occurred to me.
“Now I have said it several times in some interviews, but trying to continue the amateur golf, trying to compete at any level and reach any level that I can reach, is it almost like a challenge for ourselves, as we can do?
“I don’t know what it is. I don’t have a certain goal this week. I have no expectations, and I don’t have the same. That’s just what is possible.

“It’s all because I love golf so much. I love the people you came into contact with. I love places where you finish. That’s honest what it’s all about at the moment.”
Vogt’s performances in the first major two months after his father Jim died of colon cancer at the age of 65.
“I now have a 15-month-old daughter and everyone knows about my father’s recent passage, so even for the last few months I feel like I am, in some way, from a boy to a man and like a matured as a person and like a dad,” he said.
“So the sweetest part is to see the kids out there. They could know who I am, maybe not. They just know that I play golf inside the rope, and they may think about doing it one day or just haunting their dreams. They are probably here with their parents and creating memories and have experience.
“It is a real honor to be a part of it, just see such children and, I suppose, make a good impression on them here on the golf course.”
