CARNOUSTIE, Scotland Jhonattan Vegas thought someone was playing a practical joke on him.Or maybe he was stuck in the middle of a horror movie.Scheduled to leave for The Open a week ago, he didnt arrive at Carnoustie until a little more than an hour before his first-round tee time Thursday.Even if somebody tried to do that on purpose, he said, you couldnt really do it.The problem was an expired visa.Vegas said that he must have gotten confused by the transposed date on the visa Guessing Ive been living in America too long and assumed that he was cleared to travel.No problem, he was told. Hed have a new visa in 24 hours.

Except the consulate in New York didnt respond to his application the next day, keeping him in limbo through the weekend. Then, on Monday, he was told that hed applied for the wrong visa. UPS got shut down in New York and his visa never left, so Vegas waited in vain for seven hours in front of the consulate in Houston. He finally secured his visa on Wednesday morning, boarded a flight from Houston to Toronto, and then flew to Glasgow, the final leg of a 14-hour journey.His agent arranged a helicopter ride from Glasgow to Carnoustie to ensure that he could make his 10:31 a.m. (local) tee time.One more issue? His clubs never made it. They were left back in Toronto.His caddie, Ruben Yorio, scrambled to put together a new bag, with a mismatched set of woods, irons, wedges and putter.Luckily the (equipment) vans are still here, Vegas said. Otherwise I probably would have played with members clubs today.He hit about 20 balls on the range Luckily they were going forward but Carnoustie is one of the most challenging links in the world, and Vegas was working off of two hours sleep and without his own custom-built clubs. He shot 76 but, hey, at least he tried.It was fun, he said, even though the journey was frustrating.
