For most of the year, professional golf looks like a closed shop. Then, for one Monday in June, the U.S. Open kicks the door open: anyone with a 0.4 Handicap Index or better can enter, and a single brutal 36-hole day stands between a qualifier and a tee time at Shinnecock Hills. This is the page we keep pinned through all of it. Two waves are already done. The June 8 marathon is now complete across the final ten sites.
The First Wave — In the Books
There's a long-standing rhythm to the U.S. Open calendar: the international and Texas-based contingents get their day first. On Monday, May 18, two venues separated by six time zones — Walton Heath in Surrey and Dallas Athletic Club in Texas — filled the first 13 seats at Shinnecock. A week later, on May 25, Hino Golf Club in Japan added the eastern gateway. Here's how they finished.
May 18 · Surrey, England
Walton Heath Golf Club
| 1 | Nathan Kimsey 🏴 England · medalist, won by 2 | −14 | 68 + 62 · 130 |
| 2 | Rocco Repetto Taylor 🇪🇸 Spain | −12 | 66 + 66 · 132 |
| T3 | Filippo Celli 🇮🇹 Italy · + Jordan, Hidalgo, Nørgaard in playoff | −11 | 67 + 66 · 133 |
A four-way logjam at −11 — Celli, Matthew Jordan (Eng), Angel Hidalgo (Spa) and Niklas Nørgaard (Den) — settled the last spots in a playoff.Full leaderboard → May 18 · Mesquite, TX
Dallas Athletic Club

| 3 | Cooper Dossey 🇺🇸 Richardson, TX · hometown advance | −7 | 65 + 70 · 135 |
Nine advance. 2010 U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell (NIR) and Adrien Dumont de Chassart (BEL) headlined the group through at −4. PGA Tour veteran Kevin Streelman was the headline name to miss.Full leaderboard → May 25 · Shiga, Japan
Hino Golf Club (King Course)
The international-eastern gateway to Shinnecock. Many of Japan's top players, joined by Korean and Taiwanese travelers, began their U.S. Open journey here on the King Course — 7,035 yards of mountain parkland between Lake Biwa and the Suzuka Mountains. The full field, medalist and qualifiers are posted in our database.
Those tickets to Shinnecock are punched, two former major champions among them. The rest of the 156-player field — minus the exempt stars — comes down to a single day.
Monday, June 8 · Ten Sites (Nine U.S., One Canada)
Golf's Longest Day.
Ten venues. 715 entries chasing qualifying spots and alternate positions, played across four U.S. time zones from a Georgia dawn to an Oregon dusk. Golf Channel carries 10 hours of coverage (noon–2 p.m. and 4 p.m.–midnight ET); the USGA posts simultaneous scoring; and the playoffs for the final spots routinely run into the dark.
Below is the field, site by site — the course intelligence, the marquee names entered, and a results link straight to each leaderboard in our database.

Hawks Ridge Golf Club

The late Bob Cupp's self-described “consummate achievement” — 550 acres of Cherokee County elevation and towering pines that draw frequent Augusta comparisons. The drivable par-4 15th, with a waterfall down the right of the green, is the card-wrecker. This is its ninth Final Qualifying selection.

Bendelow / Rees Jones
The lone Canadian venue, along the Humber River on Toronto's west side. Tom Bendelow routed it in 1903; Tillinghast, Colt, Ross, Stanley Thompson and finally Rees Jones (2012 restoration) all left fingerprints. Four-time Canadian Open host.

The Lakes Golf & Country Club

Designed by Ed Sneed — yes, the PGA Tour pro who came a stroke from the 1979 Masters. North of Columbus, it rates 74.1 / 134 with water in play across multiple holes. An OGA Final Qualifying staple for nearly two decades.

An Alfred Tull original (1950) with all 18 greens rebuilt by Arthur Hills in 1999, and every bunker rebuilt — plus a brand-new 18th — by Joel Weiman in 2018–2020. Final Qualifying host since 1987. The new 18th is a do-or-die finisher.

Wilson & Lee / Nicklaus
Opened in 1964 as PGA National's Champions Course; Jack Nicklaus won the 1971 PGA here, then returned five decades later to renovate it (unveiled January 2023) at a beefy 7,474 yards. One of the longest layouts in the field, with water on roughly half the holes.

Unique on the schedule: two clubs hosting jointly. Players see a Harry Colt & Charles Alison classic (Century, 1926) and a Jack Nicklaus modern (Golf Club of Purchase, 1996) across the 36 holes — arguably the most architecturally diverse single site in the field.

Ellis Maples / K. Spence
A hidden Donald Ross school: Ellis Maples worked under Ross before his 1958 original here, and Kris Spence's 2003 restoration brought back the Golden Age bones. Three reachable par 5s offer eagles for the bold.

J.L. Black / Kyle Phillips
Sacramento's oldest club (1916), with enhancements by Herbert Fowler — the same Fowler who built Walton Heath — around 1922, and a celebrated 2006 Kyle Phillips reimagining. Deep USGA pedigree: host of the 2015 U.S. Senior Open and five earlier USGA championships.

One of the most original, largely unaltered Donald Ross designs in the country — and one of the shortest tracks in the field. Don't let 6,684 yards fool you: the Ross greens and Clark County elevation make par a genuine test. Final Qualifying host since 2008.

How to Watch & Track June 8
Broadcast: Golf Channel carries 10 hours of “Golf's Longest Day” coverage — noon–2 p.m. and 4 p.m.–midnight ET. Live scoring: the fastest way to follow every site at once is right here — each venue above links to its live leaderboard in the AmateurGolf.com tournament database, and the USGA posts simultaneous scoring at usopen.com. We publish site-by-site recaps — medalists, amateurs, and alternate-position playoffs — within hours of each finish.
The final field size and the exact number of qualifying spots per site are set by the USGA and announced Monday morning. Want the bigger picture first? Start with our 2026 U.S. Open Local Qualifying results across all 109 sites, then follow the survivors here.
The Path to Shinnecock
From the 13 Final Qualifying sites, the USGA fills a large share of the 156 spots at Shinnecock Hills, with the exact allocation per site set by field strength. The rest of the field arrives via exemption categories — major winners, top OWGR rankings, defending champions, and USGA event winners.
Historically, only two players have won the U.S. Open after surviving both local and final qualifying: Ken Venturi (1964) and Orville Moody (1969). Many more have won after advancing through final qualifying alone — Gene Littler, Julius Boros, Jerry Pate, Steve Jones, Michael Campbell and Lucas Glover among them. Glover, in fact, is entered again this year — at The Lakes in Westerville, Ohio.
Shinnecock Hills will play 7,434 yards at par 70 for the 2026 championship, June 18–21. One of the USGA's five founding member clubs, it's hosting its sixth U.S. Open — and it remains the only course to have hosted the championship across three different centuries: 1896, 1986, 1995, 2004, 2018, and now 2026.
“The road to Shinnecock starts in April. And it starts everywhere.”— AmateurGolf.com
By the time the final group walks up Shinnecock's 18th on Sunday, June 21, every player in the field will have a story that traces back through one of these 13 venues. The dream is wide open. The dream runs through these courses — and on June 8, all ten of them at once.
