COLUMBUS, Ohio Kevin Hall, a former Big Ten champion golfer from Ohio State who has been deaf since age two, has been granted a sponsor's exemption to play in the 2006 Memorial Tournament in suburban Columbus.
This will be Hall's third P-G-A event since graduating last year.
He missed the cut at the U-S Bank Championship in Milwaukee last July, and he missed the cut again at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February.
The first round of the Memorial Tournament is scheduled for June First at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
Hall is a Cincinnati native who contracted meningitis as a toddler and lost his hearing.
He led Ohio State to the 2004 Big Ten championship by winning the individual competition by eleven strokes. While in college, an interpreter accompanied him to classes.
