Matt Vogt is a proud product of the steel city. He was born and raised right away Pittsburgh, Vogt inherited his sports fumes from his father, Jim, who loved penguins and steelers and pirates, and maybe watching his only boy golf. Of these junior days in Strawberry Ridge, Butler County, everything Matt could find time for his way to become a 34-year dentist, husband and the father of a one-year-old girl, Jim never missed time. Even in recent years, when Jim’s drop in health prevent her from physically attending her son’s tournaments, there would always be a few texts waiting for matte.
Beautiful bird!
What the hamper happened on 4?!
Good luck tomorrow!
But 6. April and messages stopped. Jim Vogt was diagnosed with the colon crab last summer, and he went fast, in 65 years.
“These few months,” Matt Vogt said, “I just spent so much time praying for strength and trying to find him.”
He found him in the most important of the place.
Vogt, who is now staying in Indianapolis, never traveled to the state of Washington, let alone played golf there. But when he was openly open-end reconnaissance courses, last Monday, who wanted to run away from the player in Wallaj, which could have a doctor for dental operations, but at the end of his name, but at the long drive, albeit from the network.
Oh, how was the spot on Vogt. Man of faith, Vogt wholeheartedly believes that we carry our loved ones with us with us after they passed, and away from home, Vogt gained a dark blue ribbon on his similar title title.
. Pittsburgh.
“You know, Oakmont, Pittsburgh and all that means so much to me … and it was necessary to do not think about it all day. I feel like I will stay at this time.
And now, Matt Vogt leads home.
Vogt began to cudio in Oakmont, Henry C. Fownes masterpieces, just a few months before he joined the Butler’s male playground. Although he just competed for the three semesters for Bulldogs, Vogt remained in the Castdy Yard Ourmont, almost every day every summer, until he started the Dental School at Indiana-Indianapolis University in 2013. Years.
“It’s just a special place,” Vogt Oakmont said. “I have such great memories of membership and their guests, many successful people who love and obsessed with golf. … walk around Oakmont as a child, and you think about playing in the championship.”
Vogt never dreamed of playing professional golf. Was realistic as a child; He wasn’t good enough, so the PGA tour was never part of the plan. He stayed in Butler to finish undergrad, mainly because he met his wife, Hilary, there. After the end of his doctorate, the couple remained in Indy, where in 2018. Vogt opened his own practice, dentists at the entrance crossing in McCordsville.
Chhucuckes in the way that is shown in the last days, such as this dentist that deals five days a week, finds a while to hit balls after work, and then somehow, qualifying for the US Open.
“I want to be honest with everyone,” Vogt admits: “I work with another dentist in my office; she is great, and my team is amazing.”
Vogt spends two to three days in the office by doing his clinical tasks. The rest of the working week includes some administrative duties, plus a consultation in which other dentists learn to start or acquire their own practices. When dr. Vogt competes against Scottie, Rory and Bryson on his first championship, dr. Maria Summer will hold a fortress.
“But no matter how I open, I’ll be back to work week after that, says Vogt.
Vogt has developed itching to play competitive golf course during the dental school. He occurred at the World Golf Ranking with T-7 on the Open Indiana in 2019. year, and since then he completed the third three times in Indiana Amateur as he added the fourth place to 2022. In Indiana. He also qualified for the American Medium Amateur two years ago, although his most trusted, at least before from last Monday, played his first American amateur in Oakmont 2021. years. Years.
Entry as an alternative, Vogt deserved the first time from Teeee Oakmont’s 10. holes that is the first day before the storms brought lush rains and softened the terrain. He then continued to open a four-time Bogey 8, and his first round 81 was 11 more shots than playing the Parker Coody, although only about four moves greater than the field average. While Vogt missed the game by playing for six shots, he bounced back with another round 68 in a nearby rugue.
“You play your practice circulates and learn that golf course, then get a golf course when the tournament starts and believes that they have abolished the relationship and greenery in the 10th,” Vogt said. “I was just far over my skiers. I was that guy who shot at Bazillion as Parker tried to win the American amateur.”
That American amateur also has significance that has significance given that he was the last tournament that his father saw him playing in person. Shortly afterwards, Jim Vogt, he is already engaged in some small health and mobility issues, suffered a stroke. His vision then worsened, and as a result, a man who closed Matt that she was half-hour to and from strawberries countless times countless and traveled to 49 states in his life lost his life. Raka forecast, Matt describes, was “very bad.” Still, Matt’s biggest fan fought long enough to keep his granddaughter, Charlotte Morgan, who was born on the 21st. February.
“He’s starting to suffer,” Matt Vogt recalls. “The past few months have been a mixture of sadness, facilitation that he is in peace and growing up and processing that my father went and now I’m Dad for my daughter. But what I felt last week, am I glad he is in a better place.”
Kevin O’Brien is unfortunately unfortunately. One of the best friends and colleagues Vogt, O’Brien lost his father Patrick, after a four-year-old cancer battle in February 2021. years, just a few months before he was, and EED, and Amateur from 2021. Years in front of his home Pittsburgh. At the beginning of April O’Brien and Vogt, they teamed up at the Champion Jaw at Houston when Vogt got a call that his father was not left for long.
“We played with that last round with him knowing,” said O’Brien, “And knowing how I felt like I lost my father, we were both emotional.”
Less than three weeks after his father’s death, Vogt progressed through the local qualifier in Ottera Creek in Columbus, Indiana, in a shot. Then in mid-May, he won the PGA Indianapolis Open for two. Then came a day from dreams in Wall Wall. If only he could read Those texts.
The longest day, O’Brien was in the middle of the tournament in Carlton Woods in the forest in Texas, where Vogt would otherwise be if he was not final qualifications. When Vogt threw a pikaća from the footpath of his foot, with just a few holes, O’Brien and over a dozen other guys gathered in the bar are located. Once he became official and Vogt was interviewed, the sun for lighting only as much as Vogt’s eyes were on good, O’Brien shared in feeling.
“It was such an amazing moment,” O’Brien said. “I’m impressed that he could even hold it together.”
Vogt has already made plans with the family to do the trip to Oakmont as a spectator, although he always hoped his priorities would change. Boy, are they ever. VoGT’s emotional reactions on Monday night, Viral, and Vogt says it was recovered, but all unanswered questions can be addressed in the Oakmont, where is the only qualifier with the formal conversation and slot between Dustin Johnson and Xander Schaufele. On the two-hour drive to the airport on Tuesday morning, he called ESPN’s show McAfee Show. “Nick, one of their manufacturers, gave up on his hipa rights in speech everyone that I am his dentist,” Vogt said. Squeeze the vogt on Wednesday a few more interviews of phones, including golfchannel.com, which greatly appreciated the time.
Vogt plans to stay with O’Brien, who lives only a few minutes from OAURMONT, during the week of the championship to help you understand into consideration. (Will surely spend some time discussing the recent signing of Aron Rodger with Steelers.)
“Overnight, this just became something I never dreamed of,” Vogt said, “So I’m trying to surround the people who know me best.”
O’Brien believes that Vogt’s best can continuous – flat and powerful drives; Installation, installation, installation and all; greatly improved the ability of the wedge.
“He doesn’t have a hole in his game,” O’Brien said.
Added Vogt: “I’m a different player than I was in 2021. years; I’m a better player, I know that, but also I also play with the best players in the world.”
The couple entered nine holes, only those and maintenance staff, on Saturday night and were surprised as normally felt.
“We both saw oak,” said O’Brien, who saw the Schmet of Jewel for Edbold Cup, Intraclub match that includes O’Brien Pittsburgh Field Club and often serves as testing for new needles and harder. “And when the crowds get up, and the cameras are there, they will need to get used to it, but we’ll just have fun and hugging.”
Jim Vogt never forced her son, Matt, to play golf. He never gave him a golf advice. She just listed it.
Although Matt Vogt can no longer hear or read, encourage, he can feel it, and he strengthened.
It will wear that courage with him at the first time oakmont on Thursday, and no matter what this rough golf course throws its way, Vogt will be determined to make her father proud.
“I wish he was here to share in this,” Matt Vogt said, “but I know he always looks.”
