Less than 24 hours after Justin Thomas won his second major at the PGA Championship, we cast our gaze eastward towards The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, site of the 122nd U.S. Open.
On Monday, the U.S. Golf Association announced 30 golfers who are newly qualified for event, including PGA runner-up Will Zalatoris as well as Adam Scott and Keegan Bradley. There are now 79 exempt players for the third men’s major of 2022 with 27 of them earning their spot for placing in the top 60 in the latest Official World Golf Ranking as of May 23.
Zalatoris, who lost a playoff to Thomas on Sunday at the PGA, is now ranked 14th in the world. He is the highest-ranked player in the OWGR who was not previously exempt into the U.S. Open.
