If you tuned in for U.S. Open sectional qualifying coverage on FS1 on Monday, you may have found yourself thinking, “Did Holly Sonders just say what I think she said?”
The answer? Yes, she did.
During a live studio broadcast covering U.S. Open sectional qualifying, Sonders was preparing to transition to the results from the qualifer in England.
“Head to www.usopen.com,” Sonders said, “Everything will be there. The entire days of sexual qualifying.” Oops!
“Sexual Qualifying” > Sectional Qualifying

Kudos to Sonders and her in-studio partners Shane Bacon and Brad Faxon for keeping a straight face and maintaing their composure after what was surely a moment they laughed about afterward.
Sonders good-naturedly responded to the gaffe on Twitter.
SECTIONAL qualifying is complete! “Sexual” qualifying isn’t a thing…and I didn’t have the time to make a joke about my mistake as we needed to get off the air 60 sec later. If Brad and Shane had even cracked a smile we wouldn’t have made it through the segment

…And if it were a actual thing, it would air at a very different time on a very different network!!
