Two LIV golfers advanced out of final qualifying to make the 2025 U.S. Open
Among the long list of names on the various tee sheets at the 13 locations for the 36-hole final qualifying for the 2025 U.S. Open were 25 LIV golfers.
At eight of those 13 sites, there were no players from LIV. Meanwhile, the qualifier on June 2 in Maryland, which is close to this week's LIV event in Virginia, had the most. Originally set for 13 LIV golfers, by the time the qualifier started, six of them had withdrawn, leaving seven LIV golfers in the field of 71 fighting it out for one of four spots there.
How did all the LIV golfers do in final qualifying for the 2025 U.S. Open?
As it turns out, of the 25 who initially entered final qualifying, just two got through, although there's one still with a chance.
Marc Leishman and Carlos Ortiz were the only qualifiers from LIV to play their way into the U.S. Open. Ortiz did so on May 19, Leishman on June 2. Three of their LIV cohorts are listed as alternates.
Graeme McDowell had his final qualifier suspended by rain on Monday but he's three shots off the projected cut with 28 of his 35 holes already played. Play will resume Tuesday morning.

Jason Day's Tuesday fit at 2025 U.S. Open has him ready for a Fourth of July cookout

Jason Day, you've done it again. The Australian has made headlines in the past year with his clothing choices at major championships, especially the 2024 Masters, and he's at it again at the 2025 U.S. Open. Advertisement Day, the 2015 PGA champion, showed up to Tuesday's practice round at Oakmont Country Club wearing shorts that look like he's about to crack open a cold one and shoot off fireworks to celebrate America's birthday. Jason Day's outfit at 2025 U.S. Open See for yourself in all its glory, Day's fit is big on the red, white and blue. What did Jason Day wear at 2024 Masters? Day's flashy Malbon Golf Championship sweater was a talking point among patrons (and everyone at the course). The Masters and Augusta National asked him to remove the sweater and wear a more traditional outfit. Here's a look at what he wore. Jason Day (wearing a Malbon sweater) and his caddie, Luke Reardon, wait on the 15th hole during the continuation of the first round of the 2024 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. What did Jason Day say about that sweater vest? What is Malbon Golf? Malbon was founded in 2017 by Stephen and Erica Malbon, who created stylish golf gear worn by Day and LPGA golfer Minjee Lee. Advertisement The company's mission says it "sought to honor the heritage of golf while opening it up to a broader community, blending time-honored values with a fresh, creative spirit."
