Full-time dentist set to compete with Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler at US Open weeks after losing dad to cancer
DENTIST Matt Vogt is determined to extract as much joy as possible from his emotional homecoming, as he makes his US Open debut just a couple of months after losing his father to cancer.
The fact that the tournament is being played at Oakmont in Pennsylvania – where Vogt caddied for six years as a youngster before earning a college scholarship – makes the event even more poignant.
Vogt, 34, was born and brought up a few miles from Oakmont.
So he is guaranteed plenty of support this week, especially as TV stations in the US have been portraying his story as a modern-day fairytale.
At 6ft 6in, the big-hitting amateur will not be hard to spot.
And he expects to experience an emotional roller-coaster over the next few days.
His dad, Jim, died from colon cancer just a few weeks before Vogt earned a spot in the US Open field the hard way – winning a regional heat, and then finishing top of the pile again in a hotly-contested final qualifier.
Back-to-back 68s at Wine Valley in Washington saw him finish ahead of plenty of seasoned PGA Tour players.
So he has plenty of game, despite the fact he has never even considered turning professional himself.
Vogt alternated between smiling broadly and fighting back tears, as he explained what it meant to be teeing off in a Major championship just a few yards away from where he used to hang out in the caddyshack.

He commented: “Oh, wow. Oh my goodness. I don’t know where to start.
“I just hope that what has happened to me will be an inspiration to anyone who is going through a tough time, wondering when the next good thing will happen.
“I think everyone knows about my dad’s passing, and it’s bound to be on my mind a lot this week, especially with it being Father’s Day on Sunday.
“Even walking up the ninth fairway today after signing some autographs for some little kids – which was pretty awesome, by the way – I kind of looked up and thought about it.
“Anyone who’s lost a parent, you feel these brief spurts of emotion, from time to time.
“He had colon cancer. I wear the blue ribbon for that, and I say a prayer every night for people who have been affected by cancer.
“It’s a horrible, horrible thing. He got that diagnosis last year, and it wasn’t good.
“Over the past few months before his passing, you could see it was starting to take a toll. So it’s emotional, but honestly, I know he’s in a better place.
“He was beginning to suffer, and that’s something no one ever wants to see.
“Although I wish he was still here with us, there’s a sense of peace among our family. And I hope he’s at peace as well, because it was hard.
“And for me, I have a 15-month-old daughter now, and the last few months, I feel like in a way I’ve gone from a boy to a man, and like matured as a person and as a dad.”
Vogt, who has played in the US Amateur and Mid-Amateur golf tournaments, has been inundated with good luck messages from his patients, fellow dentists, other players – and the local caddies, who are all rooting for him.

Nigel Farage says Brits have ‘every right to be angry’ about cost of hotels for migrants
BRITS struggling to live have “every right to be angry” about illegal migrants getting cushy hotel rooms, Nigel Farage said yesterday.
The Reform leader hailed The Sun’s front page for laying bare the crippling cost of asylum accommodation.
We told the case of Stuart Whittaker – a former factory worker from Hull who is now homeless – feeling he had been “shoved to the back of the queue”.
Downing Street yesterday admitted it was “absolutely not” fair that locals like him are sofa-surfing while taxpayers fork out for migrant hotels.
Also addressing the story in Port Talbot, Mr Farage said: “What I tell your man from Hull, is he has every right to be upset.
“Every right to be angry.
“Just don’t say anything on social media or Keir Starmer will put you in prison.”
He said that while legal migration has a bigger strain on public services, it is the “sheer unfairness of these young men” coming across the Channel illegally that rubs people up.
The cost of paying for asylum support has ballooned to around £4.7billion annually, and around 15,000 migrants have arrived from France this year already.
Sir Keir Starmer’s spokesman said: “It’s not fair that tens of thousands of people are stuck in an asylum backlog that’s wasting billions of pounds of taxpayers money, and that’s why we’re focused on taking the action needed to reduce the number of asylum seekers and hotels.”
Minister Chris Bryant yesterday insisted that the “best deterrent” against small boats was processing asylum claims quicker.
He was slammed by Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, who said: “This is dangerous nonsense from a weak Labour Government.
“Giving illegal immigrants asylum faster is no deterrent – it will just attract even more to come here.
“A real deterrent would be removing every single illegal immigrant who arrives in the UK to somewhere like Rwanda.”
RTE’s Ray D’Arcy reveals real reason behind happy marriage with wife Jenny & major decision that’s ‘huge part of that’
RTE star Ray D’Arcy has opened up on his “calm” life with his wife Jenny and why giving up alcohol helped his home environment.
The popular radio star has two kids with his wife; Kate, 18 and Tom, who turns 13 next month.
The happy couple met all the way back in 2005 before tying the knot in a gorgeous ceremony in 2013.
And Ray insists the main reason he and his wife have made their relationship work so well, is because they are best friends.
Speaking to the RTE Guide, Ray said: “Jenny and I are best friends and companions and husband and wife, and we’ve two healthy children and they’re lovely. We are very lucky and we appreciate that.”
The dad-of-two adds that part of the reason his home life is so calm is due to both him and Jenny giving up alcohol.
Ray explained: “[Life at home] is very calm. I’d say a huge part of that is because neither Jenny nor I drink.
“Not that we were big drinkers, but it has brought a calm into our life that you can only experience when you do it.
“Drink for a lot of reasons, even if you don’t drink that much, just brings spikes in moods.”
And a calm household is what Ray needs now as his daughter Kate is gearing up to do her Leaving Cert.
He explained: “I was talking to a guy recently and he described having somebody in Leaving Cert as playing that winter Olympic sport [curling], where you push the thing down and then everybody paves the way in front of it.
“It’s like that and we’re happy to do that. We’re there for whatever she wants.
“I still have nightmares about my Leaving Cert all these years later. Now, I don’t share that with Kate.”
Just last year Ray opened up to the RTE Guide about the reason behind him and Jenny’s decision to quit drinking.
Ray revealed that he has never had an issue with alcohol, but admitted that he “hasn’t looked back” since choosing to quit over four years ago.
NO REGRETS
The 60-year-old told how he made the active decision to stop while out for a run one day.
He said: “One day I was on holidays down the country, I’d had a few glasses of wine and the next day, out on a run, I felt a bit fuzzy, and I just thought, I’m going to give this up. There was no big deal about it.
“I hadn’t discussed it with anybody, I just decided it was something I was going to do.”
The Den star confessed that he “didn’t drink that much” to begin with and explained how his wife Jenny had quit six years before him.
Ray highlighted how Jenny had “inspired him” to make the move with how much “it changed her life”.
