Tom Kite, who is 54 years old, qualified for the U.S. Open to preserve his streak of consecutive Opens at 31 straight. Kite’s only major was the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, where he was able to withstand gusty winds. At the qualifier, Kite beat out young gun Trip Kuehne for one of the last spots. It’s always amazing in golf how age is much less of a factor than in other sports. Could you imagine a 54 year old playing basketball or tennis?
