Jordan, an Englishman, got in first as an alternate from England's Final Qualifier site when Sahith Theegala confirmed the sad news his recent neck injury would prevent him from competing. Theegala's withdrawal opened up a spot for Jordan.
Fox, who won a dramatic four-hole playoff against Sam Burns at the RBC Canadian Open, improved to No. 32 in the Official World Golf Ranking after his second victory in a month, and earned a spot in the U.S. Open field thanks to being in the top 60 in the world ranking by this week's deadline.
Since no other player met any of the other remaining exemption categories, the USGA selected the following players to complete the field of 156 with a chance to win the third men's major and a national championship this week. Those players included the following alternates:

Riki Kawamoto
The remaining alternates and second alternates from various Final Qualifying sites will have to wait and see if anyone else chooses to drop out ahead of the start of the 125th U.S. Open on Thursday.

Georgia teenager Mason Howell wins US Amateur, youngest champion since 2009
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Georgia teenager Mason Howell capped a productive summer before his senior year of high school by winning the U.S. Amateur at The Olympic Club on Sunday just two months after competing in his first U.S. Open. Howell, who turned 18 in June, raced out to a big lead over Tennessee teenager Jackson Herrington on the opening 18 holes and went on to win the 36-hole final 7 and 6 to surpass Tiger Woods and become the third youngest U.S. Amateur champion ever. Only Byeong Hun An, who won at age 17 in 2009, and Danny Lee, who won a month after his 18th birthday in 2008, were younger. 'It's all jumbled together,' Howell said of his emotions. 'It's been such a great week. To have my name next to these other names on this trophy is unbelievable. To be next to somebody named Tiger is an unreal feeling.' Howell won it with a par to halve the 30th hole, ending the most-lopsided final since Bryson DeChambeau also beat Derek Bard 7 and 6 in 2015. The win earned Howell invitations to the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open next year. He also got a spot in the Walker Cup matches down the coast at Cypress Point in September. 'I felt like I always had it," Howell said of his play this summer. "It's self-belief. I knew it was in me. I just needed to walk with some confidence and I think that would translate to good golf and staying positive. This was the first U.S. Amateur final featuring two teenagers since Matt Fitzpatrick bested Oliver Goss in 2013 and Howell showed the composure of a much more experienced golfer by repeatedly making clutch putts while Herrington made repeated mistakes. Howell won 11 holes, eight of them with pars. He also responded after all four holes he lost, winning the following hole each time. Howell burst onto the scene when he qualified for the U.S. Open this year with rounds of 63-63 from the Atlanta sectional. He failed to make the cut at Oakmont but used that experience this week at The Olympic Club. He was one of 17 players to advance from a 20-man playoff to make the match play portion of the tournament, where he won all six matches. 'Honestly, I have known how good he is for a long time,' said his father, Robert Howell. 'He's had a phenomenal breakout summer.' Howell won five of six holes on the front nine of the opening 18 holes — including an eagle at No. 7 — to take a four-hole lead. He increased the lead to five with a birdie on the par-5 16th hole as his steady putting helped keep Herrington at bay. 'That's one thing we really wanted to start off with today was get the lead through nine," Howell said. "We got off to such a good start. I wanted to keep my foot on the gas, but I didn't want to do anything dumb. I knew if I hit it to a lot of the center of the greens and two-putted that would be good enough." Herrington closed the first 18 with a birdie on the par-5 18th to get back within four. But he then bogeyed the first three holes after the lunch break to fall down by six and never really threatened the rest of the way. 'He played good, and I didn't play great,' Herrington said. 'It was unfortunate I was that way, but I learned a lot about myself.' Howell now gets ready for his senior year of high school — which started this past week — before he is set to start college at the University of Georgia in 2026. 'At the end of the day, I still have to go sit in a classroom for eight hours these coming months,' Howell said. 'Just got to soak this up and really enjoy this one with friends and family.' The 19-year-old Herrington is about to start his sophomore season in college at Tennessee. ___

Pegula-Draper a new team for US Open mixed doubles, and Sinner needs another partner
NEW YORK (AP) — Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper will team up for the U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament, after their previous partners withdrew Friday from the revamped event. Top-ranked men's player Jannik Sinner also needs a new partner if he wants to play in the event that will reward $1 million to the winning team, as Emma Navarro also has pulled out of the competition that begins Tuesday and will instead be playing next week in a tournament in Monterrey, Mexico. Pegula was slated to play with fellow American Tommy Paul, while Draper had been paired with Paula Badosa. Pegula, Draper and Sinner were all allowed to find a new partner by Sunday's deadline and maintain a direct entry into the field of 16 teams if their combined singles ranking was high enough. Pegula, last year's U.S. Open women's runner-up, and Draper had a combined ranking of 9 as of the entry deadline. After the withdrawals and new pairings, Italians Jasmine Paolini and Lorenzo Musetti also moved into the draw via direct entry through their combined rankings. There are 13 spots currently filled, including defending mixed doubles champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, who were given one of the wild cards by the U.S. Tennis Association. They criticized the new format, a shortened, two-day event that will largely be filled by top singles players. The other teams that have qualified directly include: Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud, Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz, Amanda Anisimova and Holger Rune, Belinda Bencic and Alexander Zverev, and Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev. The other wild cards that have been given have gone to Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz, Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, Olga Danilovic and Novak Djokovic, Taylor Townsend and Ben Shelton, and Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka. ___ AP tennis: The Associated Press

U.S. Walker Cup team solidified for matches at Cypress Point
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler discusses his BMW Championship victory, reflecting on what made the win special, if comparing him to Tiger Woods is fair, how he measures his improvement and why golf "is not just a game." SAN FRANCISCO – The U.S. Walker Cup team for next month's match at Cypress Point is complete. The USGA announced Sunday the remaining five selections to captain Nathan Smith's 10-man squad – newly minted U.S. Amateur champion Mason Howell, Oklahoma's Jase Summy, Texas' Tommy Morrison, Notre Dame's Jacob Modleski and mid-amateur Stewart Hagestad. World No. 1 Jackson Koivun of Auburn was among the earlier selections, along with Virginia's Ben James, Ole Miss' Michael La Sasso, and Oklahoma State teammates Preston Stout and Ethan Fang. This will be Hagestad's fifth Walker Cup as he was on winning teams in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023. Summy was coming off winning the Western Amateur while Modleski was a semifinalist at the Western and a quarterfinalist at Olympic. Morrison solidified his spot by making match play at the Western and U.S. amateurs. Howell earned an automatic spot with his 7-and-6 win over Jackson Herrington. Among those left off the team were high-schooler Miles Russell, who also made the quarters this week and would've been the youngest Walker Cupper ever at 16 years old, and mid-amateur Evan Beck, the reigning U.S. Mid-Amateur champion. The 50th Walker Cup, which pits a team U.S. amateurs against those from Great Britain and Ireland, will take place Sept. 6-7 at Cypress Point Club in Pebble Beach, California. The GB&I team will be finalized Monday.
