As the first stage of qualifying concludes, 254 amateur golfers have secured their place in Final Qualifying for the 125th U.S. Open Championship, set for Oakmont Country Club, June 12–15. From local club hopefuls to collegiate stars, these players emerged from a deep and diverse field during Local Qualifying, contested at 110 sites across the US, Canada, and Mexico.

The Path Through Local Qualifying

Local Qualifying is a true test: 18 holes, one opportunity. In 2025, amateurs from 43 U.S. states posted scores from 62 to 79, with the average advancing score at 68.3. These players now move on to Final Qualifying—a 36-hole battle for a spot in the field at Oakmont.

Low Scores, High Hopes

Jake Birdwell (Blaine, Minn.) – 62

Gareth Steyn (Australia), Angelo Marcon (San Francisco), Luke Sample (New York), Ty Holbrook (Colorado) – 63

A total of 10 amateurs shot 64 or better!

From Local Spotlight to National Stage

From 14-year-old Raymond Rebell to seasoned NCAA standouts like Luke Sample and Brent Whitehead, this year’s amateur field is full of potential. Their next stop? Final Qualifying, also known as "Golf’s Longest Day," to be played in the US, Canada, England, and Japan.

Oakmont Awaits

Oakmont Country Club, hosting its record 10th U.S. Open, will provide a fierce test: lightning-fast greens, deep bunkers, and no let-up from start to finish. The amateurs who survive Final Qualifying will face one of the toughest courses in championship golf.

For the 254 amateurs still standing, the dream lives on.
