Ian Poulter's son Luke suffers US Open qualifying heartache after playoff
Amateur Luke Poulter, the son of Ryder Cup star Ian, saw hopes of making his major debut at next week's US Open dashed after losing a play-off in final qualifying. The 21-year-old, who a year ago sustained a fracture in his back and was out for seven months, tied for fourth on 10 under in an 81-man event at Emerald Dunes in West Palm Beach, Florida. That meant he went head-to-head with Austen Truslow, a professional since 2015 with PGA Tour experience, and lost to a birdie in the second extra hole. Poulter, a University of Florida student, had got to seven under through 21 holes before play was suspended due to bad weather on Monday and returned to card a bogey-free 65 - which included an eagle and five birdies - for the second-best score of the final round. "I can't believe how impressive today's 65 was to get into that position," Poulter's dad Ian wrote on Instagram. "We keep using this as incredible experience and we keep getting better. An alternate spot but not sure what number it will be." Ryder Cup winner Nicolai Hojgaard finished two shots outside the play-off, while 2010 US Open champion Graeme McDowell was five adrift. Poulter was hoping to match the feat of fellow English amateur and second-year student at Florida State University Tyler Weaver, who secured his first major appearance with one of five qualifying spots in the 83-man field at Piedmont Driving Club in Atlanta on Monday. The 22-year-old from Bury St Edmunds, who like Poulter is playing for the International Team in this week's Palmer Cup - a Ryder Cup-style event for college students - posted an 11-under total which saw him finish above the likes of major champions Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner. "It's been a really positive season for me so far with some good results, but this is definitely up there with my biggest achievement," said Weaver, who plans to have brother Max on his bag next week. "Playing in a major championship is a dream of mine and still hasn't quite set in that I will be teeing it up at Oakmont this year." Another Englishman Matt Wallace, who finished joint 17th at last month's US PGA, will play his first US Open in four years after taking one of the seven spots available at Lambton Golf and Country Club in Ontario having posted a seven-under total with rounds of 67 and 66.

PGA Tour's Zurich Classic is a team event. How does the format, money and points work?
The PGA Tour will hold its only regular-season team event this week, the Zurich Classic, at the TPC Louisiana in Avondale, La., a suburb of New Orleans. The only other team event sanctioned by the Tour is the Presidents Cup, held every two years. Tour players also compete in the Ryder Cup, which is owned by the PGA of America. Advertisement The major difference is that the Zurich Classic is a stroke-play team event. Here's how it works: Two-player teams compete The top available players from the PGA Tour Priority Rankings who commit to the tournament select their partners. Their priority status doesn't matter but they do have to have some PGA Tour status, unless they are a sponsor exemption. There are 80 two-man teams in the field. After the first two rounds, the cut is made to the low 33 teams, plus ties What's the Zurich Classic format? The teams play under the two basic formats for pairs: Fourball and foursomes (also called alternate shot). Advertisement Under the Fourball format, each competitor plays the hole. The lowest score of the two is entered as the team score. If Player A makes a birdie and Player B makes a par, the birdie is counted. Under the foursomes format, one player tees off, his partner hits the next shot, and they rotate until the hole is complete to arrive at the team score. Twin brothers Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark and Rasmus Hojgaard of Denmark are int he field for the 2025 Zurich Classic at TPC Louisiana beginning on April 24. Fourballs will be played in the first and third rounds and alternate shot in the second and fourth rounds. Before the round begins, the teams must designate which player tees off on the even-numbered holes and which tees off on the odd-numbered holes. What if there's a playoff? The first playoff hole will be conducted under the alternate shot format. If a second playoff hole is needed, it will be a fourball. The playoff holes will rotate between the two formats until a winner is decided in sudden death. What's the purse? The purse is $9.2 million and the players on the winning team earn $1,329,400. That amount is arrived at by adding first- and second-place money based on a $9.2 million purse ($2,658,800) and dividing it by two. The second-place team will earn $542,800 each and third gets $355,360. How many FedEx Cup points are awarded? The players on the winning team will get 400 points each, arrived by adding the usual points for a Tour full-field event that is not a major, a Signature Event or The Players Championship (500 points for first, 300 for second), then dividing by two. The same formula holds true for the rest of the teams. How low do they go? Scores are obviously lower than an individual stroke-play events, since two of the days the score is the best result on each hole of two elite players. Advertisement The tournament record for 72 holes is 30-under-par 258 by Nick Hardy and Davis Riley in 2023. The record for a fourball score is 59 in the first round in 2022 by Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. The record for an alternate shot round is 63 by three teams: Cantlay and Schauffele in round two in 2023, Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor in round four in 2023 and Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer in round four in 2024. What do the winners get besides money and points? The normal perks: a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and spots in the PGA Championship next month and the 2026 Players Championship. However, the Masters does not invite the winners of the Zurich Classic, nor do players get World Ranking points, because of the team format. Who are the team winners in the Zurich Classic? 2024: Rory McIlroy-Shane Lowry, 25-under 263. 2023: Nick Hardy-Davis Riley, 30-under 258. 2022: Patrick Cantlay-Xander Schauffele, 29-under 259. 2021: Marc Leishman-Cameron Smith, 20-under 268. 2019: Jon Rahm-Ryan Palmer, 26-under 262. 2018: Billy Horschel-Scott Piercey, 22-under 266. 2017: Jonas Blixt-Cameron Smith, 27-under 261.
