VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Colin Montgomerie and Jose Maria Olazabal, Europes past and present Ryder Cup captains, headline the field contesting the 36-hole U.S. Open qualifier at Walton Heath on Monday. A total of 104 players are challenging for 12 spots available for the years second major, which will be held at the Olympic Club in San Francisco on June 14. Montgomerie was the runner-up at the U.S. Open on three occasions between 1994 and 97 but hasnt qualified through Walton Heath for the past two years. Olazabal is looking to make the tournament for the 18th time. Six winners from this years Race to Dubai -- Jbe Kruger, Julien Quesne, Michael Hoey, Thorbjorn Olesen, Bernd Wiesberger and Ricardo Santos -- are also in the qualifying field. Jamie Collins Jersey .

Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca! Kerry, Can you explain why Danny Brieres goal counted even though it was offside? James Israelson --- Dear Mr. Fraser, After watching last nights NHL highlights (time difference of six hours and I do need my beauty sleep!), I must say I do know that officials do make mistakes (they are human, I realize). But not making the call and giving the Flyers a major boost in morale and thus influencing the outcome of this game is, to my opinion unacceptable! Im not a disgruntled Penguins fan crying in my sleep over a lost game. But the on-ice officials gotta know this is a very important time of the year! Thanks!Bernard KrolThe Netherlands James and Bernard: Every official knows the importance placed on the game this time of year. They recognize and accept the added pressure heaped upon them during the Stanley Cup Playoffs as every call is scrutinized much more intensely than during the regular season. Everything is on the line! If a linesman missed an offside call during a regular season game that resulted in a goal to make the score 3-1 early in the second period it would be but a blip on the radar in post game notes. Not so as a result of the intensity that is created even in the first game of a Stanley Cup Playoff series. People in Philadelphia still vilify linesman Leon Stickle for missing the offside goal in overtime scored by Bob Nystrom to end the series and give the Stanley Cup to the NY Islanders. You wont convince any of the Flyers faithful that Danny Brieres offside goal in Pittsburgh last night provides any consolation to the 1980 Stanley Cup they feel was stolen from their grasp by Stickles infamous missed call. Trust me when I tell you fans have long memories when it comes too missed calls in the Stanley Cup Playoffs! My name is still mud to many of the Leaf Nation.dddddddddddd James, I can assure you there was no one in the Consol Energy Center or the millions of television viewers from as far away as the Netherlands and beyond that felt worse than linesman Tony Sericolo did last night. His beauty sleep would also have been greatly diminished as he wrestled with the sheets and the nightmare of his missed call. Tony will accept responsibility and take it squarely upon his shoulders no differently than Stickle, myself, Major League umpire Jim Joyce and others have done before him. Both Sericolo and his colleagues will learn from this unfortunate situation. Similarly to a player who makes a mistake at this crucial time of year, linesman Tony Sericolo must move forward and prepare for the next game. I am confident he will rebound from this and demonstrate why NHL linesmen are the best in the world at their craft. James, there is no provision in the rules to disallow a goal scored as a result of a missed offside call. It is no different than any other missed call that results in the scoring of a goal. It falls under the heading of human error. After all each of us (as mere mortals) make mistakes right? Remember the words of Alexander Pope, "To err is human; to forgive, divine." Beyond Popes quote, my advice to you Bernard is to catch up on your beauty sleep whenever you can because there are many more exciting games to be played in this battle of Pennsylvania and the other intense playoff series underway that are bound to heat up quickly. Its the best time of the hockey season. For a personally autographed copy of Final Call from TSN hockey analyst and former NHL referee Kerry Fraser, visit The Book Keeper website.
