2026 U.S. Open field: Miles Russell among qualifiers for Shinnecock Hills after Golf's Longest Day

The most exciting Monday on the golf calendar is always "Golf's Longest Day" when hundreds of players tee it up at final qualifying sites to try and punch their ticket to the U.S. Open.

>There is nothing quite like U.S. Open qualifying, where current top pros, big names from years past, rising amateur stars and regular folks all compete with each other for one of the coveted spots in the national championship. This year 61 players earned their way into the field at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club via qualifiers -- after more than 10,000 signed up -- joining the 85 players who have played their way into exemptions into this year's championship.

>The big story of Monday was the youth movement that was on display across the country, as a number of the top young amateurs played their way into the 126th U.S. Open, headlined by the No. 1 junior in the world, Miles Russell.

>With his buddy and fellow 2027 Florida State commit Charlie Woods on his bag, Russell rode a rollercoaster at BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens to shoot 6 under -- despite a triple bogey and a double bogey -- across 36 holes of golf to make his way into a playoff. He made a birdie on the second playoff hole to beat Tyler Collet and earn a spot alongside the world's best on Long Island next week.

>MAJOR MILES RUSSELL 👏🇺🇸

>Russell wasn't alone in earning his way to the U.S. Open as a high schooler. The AJGA's No. 2 player, Giuseppe Puebla, also earned his way in through the BallenIsles qualifier, while New York native Jackson Ormond got a spot through the Gaston Country Club qualifier in North Carolina. Both Puebla and Ormond are committed to play their college golf at Florida, where they'll be Russell and Woods' rivals.

>On the other end of the spectrum, there were some veteran tour pros who took advantage of qualifying to earn their way into one more U.S. Open. Names like J.B. Holmes, Billy Horschel, Keith Mitchell and Graeme McDowell all picked up spots via final qualifying to get a shot at another major start.

>Below you can find the full field for the 2026 U.S. Open, starting with those who won spots in qualifiers followed by those who have made it in via exemptions. There are still spots that can be earned at the RBC Canadian Open, as the top 60 in the world rankings as of June 15 (next Monday) can play their way into the current 146-player field.
