Justin Hastings, first Caymanian to play U.S. Open, leaves Oakmont with low amateur honors
Justin Hastings, first Caymanian to play U.S. Open, leaves Oakmont with low amateur honors Justin Hastings made history this week as the first Caymanian to play in the U.S. Open. He's also leaving Oakmont with low amateur honors. Hastings was one of 15 amateurs who teed it up in the 2025 U.S. Open, but he was the only one to make the cut and play the weekend, earning him low amateur honors in Western Pennsylvania. Hastings concluded play Sunday afternoon, signing for 6-over 76 in the final round to finish at 15 over for the week. He opened with three consecutive rounds of 73 in his first U.S. Open start. "It was such a treat just to be able to play in the U.S. Open and then let alone have the success to be able to call yourself low amateur, it's something I'll hold onto for the rest of my life," Hastings said. "I think I've said it coming off the course every day, there's been a lot of good. There's been a lot of good. Today I played a very similar round to the ones I did the first three days and just had no luck on the putting green." A recent San Diego State grad, Hastings earned his spot in the field after winning the 2025 Latin America Amateur Championship in January. He missed the cut at the Masters in April and concluded his collegiate career last month, finishing as the most decorated golfer in San Diego State history, breaking numerous school records previously held by World No. 3 Xander Schauffele. "I think it's just a lot of reassuring things that I've known/thought about myself for a while, and that is that I can compete out here with my good golf game -- when my golf game's good is what I mean," Hastings said of what he learned most this week. Yeah, I think I was just reaffirmed that, when I have my golf game, I can kind of compete out here. "That's something I'm going to take with me in the future, and hopefully I'll be out here sooner rather than later."
