2022 U.S. Open (golf)

Composite Course Source: --> Sources: Yardage by round ==Field==

The field for the U.S. Open is made up of players who gain entry through qualifying events and those who are exempt from qualifying. The exemption criteria include provision for recent major champions, winners of major amateur events, and leading players in the world rankings. Qualifying is in two stages, local and final, with some players being exempted through to final qualifying. As with all editions of the U.S. Open, eligibility to play is under the sole jurisdiction of the United States Golf Association to the exclusion of the PGA Tour, Professional Golfers' Association of America or any other organization. In early June 2022, several exempt players resigned or were suspended from the PGA Tour in order to compete in the LIV Golf Invitational Series, which held its inaugural event in England one week prior to the U.S. Open. The USGA subsequently confirmed that those players would remain eligible to play in the U.S. Open.

First round Thursday, June 16, 2022 Adam Hadwin led after the opening day, after a four-under-par round of 66, which included six birdies. Five players were a stroke behind after rounds of 67. A total of 25 players scored under the par of 70 and a further 16 scored level par, so that 41 players were within four strokes of the leader. Source: Second round Friday, June 17, 2022 Joel Dahmen and Collin Morikawa led after the second round with scores of 135, 5-under-par. Morikawa's 66 was the best round of the day. Defending champion Jon Rahm was in a group of five players a stroke behind, while world number one Scottie Scheffler was in another group of five a further shot behind. Overnight leader Adam Hadwin had a 72 to be three strokes behind the leaders. 64 players made the cut, which came at 143, 3-over-par. Source: Source: Zalatoris bogeyed two of his first three holes and was as many as four shots behind the leaders. He then made three birdies in four holes from the 6th hole to the 9th and took the lead with an 18-foot birdie putt at the 11th hole. He bogeyed the 12th and the 15th, after failing to get up-and-down from a greenside bunker, and fell back to four-under-par, before hitting his tee shot on the par-three 16th hole to six feet and making the putt to get within one of Fitzpatick. Zalatoris had a 12-foot putt for birdie on the 17th hole to draw level with Fitzpatrick, but missed the putt. With a one-shot lead playing the 18th, Fitzpatrick drove into a fairway bunker and played his second shot 18 feet past the hole. He two-putted for par and a round of 68, two-under-par, to finish at six-under for the tournament. Zalatoris, on a nearly identical line to Fitzpatrick, had a 14-foot putt for birdie that would have forced a playoff but it narrowly slid past the left side of the hole. He finished at five-under-par and his second consecutive runner-up finish in a major championship. World No. 1 and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler made four birdies in his first six holes to take the lead. He then bogeyed the 10th and three-putted the 11th, where his short par putt lipped out of the cup. Despite a birdie on the 17th, Scheffler finished at five-under-par, tied with Zalatoris and narrowly missing becoming only the seventh player to win both the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year. Hideki Matsuyama had a bogey-free round of 65, the lowest recorded during the week, to jump up to three-under-par and finished alone in fourth place. Defending champion Jon Rahm began the round just a shot off the lead but made five bogeys and only one birdie in a four-over-par 74 to fall outside the top-10, finishing tied for 12th.
