The 43-year-old native of Thousand Oaks, Calif., is perhaps the unlikeliest of all the qualifiers who grinded their way into thisHe’s not a young up-and-comer from the Korn Ferry Tour. He’s not a past PGA Tour player trying to relive some glory, find one last spark. He’s not a hot-shot college player trying to gain some early experience for a future as a professional.That’s why he’s here this week, poised to strike the first shot of the tournament from the 10th tee on Thursday with his 6:45 a.m.
When Henson was asked this week to describe his journey in golf and where it’s taken him, he said, “We might be here all day.” When he was asked how many tours he’s played on, he paused and said, “I’d probably have to name them off.’’Berry Henson’s US Open experience so far included practice rounds with Phil Mickelson.“I’ve played Golden State Tour; I’ve played Pepsi Tour; I played eGolf Tour; I played Hooters Tour; Canadian Tour; I played National Pro Tour; I played European Tour; Challenge Tour; Asian Tour; Japan Tour; Korean Tour; Sunshine Tour,’’ he said.
