Pan.Cink, the 2009 champion golfer of the year, missed last years U.S. Open as his wife underwent treatment for breast cancer."You know, it's been a tough thing. I was not in competitive form last year. We were right in the midst of Lisa's treatment (for cancer), and we were focused on that, so I didn't even try to qualify. To come back this year and get through successfully, it really means a lot to me, he told a pool reporter.DeChambeau managed to avoid the morning playoff thanks to a 60-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole that cancelled out a closing bogey at 18 and kept him one shot clear of Tuesday return.It was a 60-footer, he said. It had to go up a little bit of a slope and then down a three percent slope. I was trying to hit it about halfway and I hit it about 5 feet too hard. It wasnt going to go in the water but it going to go maybe six or seven feet by into the fringe.I was watching it, and it lipped in, and I look at it, and I went, Did that really just happen? I didnt do anything. I didnt react. Everybody was just shocked.Bradleys 10-under-par finish has him back in a major field after he missed this years Masters. His five-year major exemption for winning the 2011 PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club expired last year.
