It’s called Golf’s Longest Day, and for good reason, too.
The journey to the 2026 US Open at Oakmont started for many on June 8 – the final day of Final Qualifying. 679 of them competed for 43 spots at 10 venues across America and Canada.
Before that, seven players qualified at Walton Heath on May 18, and nine players qualified in Dallas, too.
Nathan Kimsey, Rocco Repetto Taylor, Filippo Celli, Matt Jordan, Angel Hidalgo, Niklas Norgaard, and Ugo Coussard all qualified in Surrey, while LIV Golf’s Graeme McDowell, Caleb Surratt, Peter Uihlein, as well as Cooper Dossey, Manav Shah, Jimmy Stanger, Adrien Dumont de Chassart, and TK Kim all made it from Dallas.
On May 25, Ryuichi Oiwa, Kaito Onishi and Taihei Sato all qualified at Hino Golf Club in Japan.
Final qualifying is one of 25 exemption categories that allow players to compete in the US Open. The third major of the year will reach its 126th edition at Shinnecock Hills.
The very last round took place in the week before the tournament, and is often regarded as one of the most gruelling days in the sport, given that it is 36 holes of intense competition.
