2026 US Open Qualifying Results: Golf’s Longest Day

The 2026 US Open qualifying results are in from Golf’s Longest Day, and Monday delivered everything the day is supposed to: drama in the playoffs, heartbreak for some of the biggest names in the game, a teenager qualifying with Tiger Woods‘ son on his bag, and one site in Oregon that ran out of daylight before anyone could declare a winner.

By the time the dust settled across 10 venues from Toronto to Palm Beach Gardens, 43 spots in the 126th U.S. Open had been filled, or very nearly filled.

Here is a full breakdown of what happened at each site and which names are headed to Shinnecock Hills.

2026 US Open Qualifying Results

Lambton Golf & Country Club, Toronto, Canada (6 spots)

The Canadian site had six spots and one of the deepest fields of the day. Two Argentinians led the way. Emiliano Grillo earned medalist honors with rounds of 65-66, and Alejandro Tosti tied the Lambton course record with a second-round 63 to advance comfortably alongside him. Marcelo Rozo, a Colombian who earned his 2026 PGA Tour card through Q-School just six months ago, rounded out the top three.

Then things got complicated. Eight players were fighting for the final three spots, and it took a playoff to sort it out. William Mouw, John Parry, and Max McGreevy held on. Max Homa, Matt Wallace, Adam Svensson, Jordan Smith, and Patrick Fishburn all went home.

For Homa, it is two years in a row now. Last year at Columbus, he carried his own bag after a caddie split, made the green on the par-5 18th in two, and three-putted to fall into a five-man playoff that he lost. This time, he could not survive another multi-way scramble for the final spots at Lambton. The six-time Tour winner is now ranked 117th in the world. His only remaining path to Shinnecock is a win at this week’s RBC Canadian Open.

Qualifiers: Emiliano Grillo, Alejandro Tosti, Marcelo Rozo, William Mouw, John Parry, Max McGreevy

Hawks Ridge Golf Club, Ball Ground, Georgia (5 spots)

Rain hit Ball Ground hard enough to delay play and push the finish deep into Monday evening. When it was over, a pair of Georgia Bulldogs had taken the top two spots.

Chris Kirk, 41, shot 65-64 to earn medalist honors at 15 under and punch his ticket to his fourth consecutive U.S. Open. Keith Mitchell went the other direction, blazing through a second-round 63 with 10 birdies in the afternoon to charge up the board to 12 under. Five players in all advanced. Aldrich Potgieter, the reigning PGA Tour Rookie of the Year who everyone expected to cruise through, did not make it.

Qualifiers: Chris Kirk, Jake Peacock, Keith Mitchell, Robbie Higgins, Chase Kyes (a)

Lakes Golf & Country Club, Westerville, Ohio (4 spots)

Davis Thompson won the site at 11 under, while J.B. Holmes joined him. An Ohio State amateur, Vaughn Harber, made a putt on the first playoff hole to claim the third spot. The story of the site, though, was Arni Sveinsson, an Icelandic amateur who plays at LSU, emerging from a four-way playoff to become the first Icelander ever to qualify for the U.S. Open.

Lucas Glover, who won at Bethpage Black in 2009 as a qualifier, could not replicate the feat. He finished at 5 under, well off the pace. His bid for what would have been his 18th U.S. Open start will have to wait, or may simply be over.

Qualifiers: Davis Thompson, J.B. Holmes, Vaughn Harber (a), Arni Sveinsson (a)

Springfield Country Club, Springfield, Ohio (5 spots)

This was arguably the most contentious site of the day. Neal Shipley and Zac Blair led the way at 8 under. Billy Horschel, who missed the cut at the Memorial the week before, played his way back to relevance with three birdies in his final five holes to share the third spot at 7 under. Nick Hardy and Dylan Wu also made it through.

The big names who did not: Tony Finau finished at 5 under, two shots outside the cutline. He will not be at the U.S. Open for the first time since 2017, ending a remarkable run of 10 appearances in the last 11 championships. Brandt Snedeker, who won at Myrtle Beach last month and was carrying real momentum into Monday, finished at 6 under and earned first alternate. Maxwell Moldovan, who had qualified from this exact site the previous four consecutive years, wound up second alternate.

Qualifiers: Neal Shipley, Zac Blair, Dylan Wu, Billy Horschel, Nick Hardy

Alternates: Brandt Snedeker (1st), Maxwell Moldovan (2nd)

Woodmont Country Club, Rockville, Maryland (4 spots)

Jackson Suber went low and earned medalist honors at 10 under. Ben Kohles, amateur Logan Reilly, and Jake Sollon also punched through. Blades Brown, the 19-year-old with PGA Tour starts already on his resume, finished just outside and wound up second alternate. Michael Thorbjornsen also missed out.

Qualifiers: Jackson Suber, Ben Kohles, Logan Reilly (a), Jake Sollon

BallenIsles Country Club, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida (4 spots)

The Florida site produced the most talked-about moment of the day. Miles Russell, a 17-year-old lefty from Jacksonville Beach with Charlie Woods on his bag, survived a playoff after a bogey on the first extra hole to claim the fourth and final spot. Russell is the top-ranked junior in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Woods, the 15-year-old son of Tiger, is one of Russell’s close friends and future college teammate at Florida State. When asked if Charlie would caddie for him at Shinnecock too, Russell grinned and said only: “We’ll see what he’s doing. To be determined.”

Three of the four qualifiers at BallenIsles were amateurs. Matt Kuchar, Luke Clanton, and Matthieu Pavon all went home.

Qualifiers: Giuseppe Puebla (a), Ben Silverman, Ryder Cowan (a), Miles Russell (a)

Century Country Club & Golf Club of Purchase, Purchase, New York (4 spots)

Kevin Roy, a former Long Beach State teammate of Xander Schauffele, earned medalist honors at 8 under with a pair of 67s, one of only two players to shoot under par on both courses. The Purchase site used two neighboring Westchester County clubs, with the shorter Golf Club of Purchase set up for scoring and the more complex Century Country Club serving as the survival test. CBS broadcaster Shane Bacon did not make it through.

Qualifiers: Kevin Roy, and three others (full scoring at usopen.com)

Gaston Country Club, Gastonia, North Carolina (5 spots)

Webb Simpson, the 2012 U.S. Open champion who grew up competing in North Carolina and went to Wake Forest, did not finish his round. He withdrew at even par through 26 holes. It was a rough end to what had been one of the more sentimental storylines heading into the day. Bill Haas, who played Shinnecock alongside his father Jay in the 2004 U.S. Open, also came up short at 5 under.

Notable players to miss: Webb Simpson (WD), Bill Haas, Doc Redman

Del Paso Country Club, Sacramento, California (4 spots)

Taylor Montgomery led the field late in the day in Sacramento. Geoff Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open champion and this year’s International Presidents Cup captain, finished at even par and did not advance. Michael Block, Stewart Hagestad, and Ricky Barnes also missed out.

Full results were still being finalized as of early Tuesday morning.

Emerald Valley Golf Club, Creswell, Oregon (2 spots)

Golf’s Longest Day technically became Golf’s Longest Day Plus One. Greyson Leach held one of the two qualifying spots after 36 holes, but Andrew Putnam and Spencer Tibbits were deadlocked for the second. The pair played six sudden-death holes Monday evening before darkness suspended the playoff. They returned Tuesday morning to settle it. As of press time, that result was still pending.

2026 US Open Qualifying Results: The Big Picture

When it was all said and done, the day produced the usual mix of joy and gut punches that makes Golf’s Longest Day worth clearing your calendar for. The biggest takeaways:

Tony Finau is out. That is the headline. A player who appeared in 10 of the last 11 U.S. Opens, including the final group at Shinnecock Hills in 2018, will not be there in 2026. He missed by two shots in Springfield. It is the first time since 2017 he will not be in the field.

Max Homa is out, again. Two years running now, Homa has gone through 36 brutal qualifying holes and come up short in a playoff. Last year it was Columbus. This year it was Toronto. He still has the Canadian Open this week, but he needs a win for an invitation.

Miles Russell is in. The 17-year-old with Charlie Woods on his bag survived a playoff and is headed to Shinnecock. One of the more memorable qualifying images in recent memory.

Billy Horschel ground it out. After missing the cut at the Memorial the week prior, Horschel closed with three birdies in his last five holes at Springfield to get through. That is exactly what qualifier situations demand.

Brandt Snedeker is an alternate. He won on Tour last month. He finished one shot outside the qualifying line. It is a brutal outcome for a player who had genuine momentum heading into Monday.

The Oregon site is not done yet. Andrew Putnam and Spencer Tibbits are still finishing a sudden-death playoff suspended by darkness. The final spot from Emerald Valley will be settled Tuesday morning, and when it is, Golf’s Longest Day will officially be over and the 126th U.S. Open field will be set.

The championship begins June 18 at Shinnecock Hills.
