“Everyone at my site got lucky” - PGA Tour announcer makes a hilarious comment after missing U.S. Open qualifier due to a canceled flight

Andres Gonzales needed to fly to his hometown, Washington, for the U.S. Open qualifiers scheduled for Monday, June 5, at Tacoma Country & Golf Club. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it due to the canceled flight.

Gonzalez won five professional titles as a golfer, including two on the Korn Ferry Tour. He has competed in the U.S. Open in 2011 and 2016. He now works as an announcer on PGA Tour Live.

Gonzalez was part of the streaming team for the Memorial Tournament, which took place at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Ohio. Following the conclusion of the Memorial Tournament on Sunday, he needed to fly back to his hometown for Monday's U.S. Open final qualifying.

After a delay of several hours, Gonzales made it to Chicago, from where he had to take the flight to Washington. However, the flight got canceled, leaving no way for him to reach the U.S. Open Monday qualifier's tee time.

Gonzales tweeted:

"My US Open Sectional is tomorrow at my home course @TCGCProShop . After hours of delays and one flight change, my connection from Chicago was canceled. No flights out that will get me to my morning time on time. I can't help but feel everyone at my site got lucky. 😉 next year"
