OAKMONT, Pa. — If you happen to need some dental work done at The Dentists of Gateway Crossing in McCordsville, Indiana this week and you’re told to come back next week, you’ll understand why.
Your dentist, 34-year-old Matt Vogt, is busy this week living out an improbable dream back where he grew up, in western Pennsylvania.
Vogt has turned in his white dentist coat for golf clothes this week as he competes in the U.S. Open at Oakmont, where he happened to caddie for five years while growing up in nearby Cranberry, Pa., and attended Seneca Valley High School.
Vogt is one of the 156 players, a field that includes world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, recent career Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy, defending champion Bryson DeChambeau and the rest of the best players in the world, because he survived local and sectional qualifying to get in.
