Pro withdraws from Open qualifying after airline loses clubs ... again
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports
We've heard of airlines damaging golf clubs, but losing them twice is almost unfathomable; that is unless your name is Michael Buttacavoli.
Buttacavoli missed a chance to qualify for the U.S. Open last month, after his golf clubs were lost by American Airlines prior to sectional qualifying.
Thank u @AmericanAir. 1 golf bag w/ priority tags on plane & the only bag u can't find. Unfortunately have to WD from @usopengolf sectionals

The PGA Tour Latinoamerica professional traveled to England on Saturday to try and qualify for the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club, but there was one problem:
My golf bag didn't make it on my flight to London for British Open qualifying. Can't make this up.
