Ten more names have been added to the field for the 120th U.S. Open.
Without qualifying events due to the coronavirus pandemic, the entire 144-player field for this year’s event at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, New York, Sept. 17-20, will be comprised entirely of exempt players.
The new additions gained entry as the top-10 point earners – not otherwise exempt – from the first five events of the European Tour’s U.K. Swing, led by Sam Horsfield, who won two of the five events at the Hero Open and Celtic Classic. Joining Horsfield are Thomas Detry, Andy Sullivan, Rasmus Hojgaard, Renato Paratore, Romain Langasque, Sami Valimaki, Adrian Otaegui, Connor Syme and Justin Harding.
Over the next few weeks, 10 more exemptions will be handed out. The top-five point earners who are not otherwise exempt from the Korn Ferry Tour’s Boise Open through this week’s Korn Ferry Tour Championship will be bound for Winged Foot. In addition, the top-five players, once again not otherwise exempt, on the PGA Tour’s final FedEx Cup standings will also qualify.
