SAG HARBOR, N.Y. (July 24, 2013) - Six qualifying positions (plus ties) were on the line at Noyac Golf Club in Sag Harbor, N.Y.,  as 60 players teed it up with hopes of qualiying for this year's edition of the Met Open Championship Sponsored by MetLife to be played at Old Westbury Golf and Country Club in late August. Leading the pack at Noyac and coming in with a score of 3-under 69 for his 18 hole round was Tim Garvin of South Fork.  Garvin's low score, due to four birdies and only bogey, secured him a final spot in the field for the championship next month.
