Did Ramirez have the chance to enter the Open?
If he did - did he enter?
If he entered, did he compete?
If he competed, did he outplace O'Toole?
If he didn't, was it because he lost to O'Toole?
Did he lose to someone O'Toole beat?
Did he lose to someone that lost to someone that O'Toole beat?
Did he lose to someone that lost to someone that lost to someone that O'Toole beat?
Did he lose to someone that lost to someone that lost to someone that lost to someone that O'Toole beat?
Hint: It's the last one there.
He lost to Derek Gilcher 10-0 in the Consi of 8 #2 who beat Tommy Gantt in the Consi Quaters 9-4 who lost to Jake Shields 6-4 in the Consi Semis who lost to Kegan O'Toole (the same one who earned the spot) 10-2 for 3rd place at the US Open.
If Ramirez wanted the spot he should have outperformed O'Toole in the qualifying tournament that holds seniority.
