Dentist a Surprising Late Addition to U.S. Open Field

Dentist a Surprising Late Addition to U.S. Open Field originally appeared on Athlon Sports. 'Golf's Longest Day' once again lived up to its name on Monday, producing another unforgettable storyline during the final round of U.S. Open qualifying. With players grinding through 36 holes across the country, dreams were made and crushed. But none more inspiring than that of Matthew Vogt, a full-time dentist from Indianapolis and former caddie at Oakmont Country Club who earned a stunning spot in the 2025 U.S. Open. Advertisement At Wine Valley Golf Club in Walla Walla, Washington, Vogt fired back-to-back rounds of 68 to punch his ticket to Oakmont. But beyond the scores, it was the story behind them that hit home. Vogt, born and raised in Pittsburgh, once walked Oakmont's fairways as a caddie. Now, he'll return to compete in one of golf's biggest events, on a course that shaped his love for the game.

Aaron Doster-Imagn Images 'It took every ounce of energy in my body to not think about that all day,' Vogt said in an emotional post-round interview. 'I'm just so proud of staying present, staying in the moment… it's just a dream come true.' The moment was made even more special as Vogt dedicated the achievement to his late father, who passed away just two months ago. 'He was always the one guy tracking me, texting me after every birdie,' Vogt shared, pointing to the ribbon on his hat in memory of him. 'I knew he was tracking me today… I was looking up to the skies and I know he's with me.' From dentist to U.S. Open qualifier, Vogt's story is a testament to grit, passion, and family. Golf fans will no doubt be cheering for him as he tees it up next week at the place where his journey first began.

高爾夫》維吉尼亞利夫賽開打前，雷希曼搶得美國公開賽門票

【羅開新聞中心Minsey Weng綜合報導】緊接在the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday（紀念賽）落幕的隔週，美國公開賽在全美各地九個場地和加拿大同時舉辦了十場三十六洞資格賽，多位利成員試圖爭奪前進Oakmont Country Club（歐克蒙鄉村俱部）的入場券，不過只有兩個月前勇奪LIV Golf Miami（邁阿密利夫賽）的澳洲選手Marc Leishman（馬克‧雷希曼）脫穎而出。 利夫聯賽本週即將上演LIV Golf Virginia Presented By Maaden（維吉尼亞利夫賽），十三位利選手報考參加鄰近的馬里蘭州Woodmont Country Club（伍德蒙特鄉村俱樂部）八十四搶四資格賽，結果雷希曼在三搶二的延長賽過關，但來自哥倫比亞的Sebastian Munoz（沙巴斯提恩‧慕尼歐茲）落選。 稍稍讓慕尼歐茲充滿希望的是，至少獲得候補機會，第五名的Peter Uihlein（彼特‧威雷恩）則名列第二候補，其他挑戰失敗者包括Lucas Herbert（盧卡斯‧赫伯特）、Jason Kokrak（傑森‧寇克拉克）等人，而David Puig（大衛‧普伊格）等六人選擇退賽，另外三個戰區也有利夫選手參賽，包括北愛爾蘭的Tom McKibbin（湯姆‧麥克賓），同樣未能通過測試。 今年共有二十五位利夫選手參加資格賽，另兩位過關者是五月十九日的香妻陣一朗（Jinichiro Kozuma）和Carlos Ortiz（卡洛斯‧歐提茲），加上即將衛冕的Bryson DeChambeau（布萊森‧迪尚波）等豁免者，總計十三人挑戰這場USGA（United States Golf Association；美國高協）大賽。隨著最後十場資格賽結束，第一百二十五屆美國公開賽陣容成形。 上週才在NCAA Championship（全美大學錦標賽）並列第四，一舉突破美巡賽大學球星保送計劃（PGA TOUR University Accelerated）二十分門檻的Auburn University（奧本大學）之星Jackson Koivun（傑克森‧柯文），隨即在喬治亞州進行的資格賽並列第三。 值得一提的是，歐提茲的弟弟Alvaro Ortiz（阿法洛‧歐提茲）在Duke University Golf Club（杜克大學高爾夫俱樂部）的七十九搶七資格賽過關，他目前主打光巡賽，所以屆時將看到這對墨西哥兄弟攜手參加美國公開賽的畫面。

Mason Howell, 17-year-old high school junior, earns spot in 2025 US Open after remarkable qualifier

Mason Howell has one year left of high school, but he will be able to tell his classmates he played in the U.S. Open before he walks at graduation. The 17-year-old Georgia high school junior qualified for the 2025 U.S. Open at Piedmont Driving Club in Atlanta on Monday after shooting an impressive 18-under-par through two rounds. He is also one of the highest-ranked junior golfers in the country, coming in at No. 8 on the American Junior Golf Association list. However, his feat was remarkable considering he was the 496th-ranked amateur going into Monday's qualifier. "That was one of the greatest moments of my life," Howell said after his two rounds. "Golf's Longest Day" is what the amateur qualifier is called, as golfers must play two full rounds to determine who will participate in the 125th edition of the major tournament, which will be held at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania this year. It was certainly a grueling day, but Howell breezed through his 36 holes without putting a bogey on the scorecard, shooting 63 in both of his rounds to earn his spot in the U.S. Open field. Howell finished tied for first with Jackson Buchanan, a 22-year-old University of Illinois golfer, who also qualified for the tournament. But there weren't just amateurs in the qualifying field. The 2007 Masters winner, Zach Johnson, was among PGA Tour veterans trying to get into the field as well. Only the top-five finishers on the leaderboard can get into Oakmont, and Howell now has tons of momentum heading into the tournament next week. Howell hails from Thomasville, Georgia, where he stars for the Brookwood High School boy's golf team, which won the program's fourth state title in the last five years last month. Despite still having one more year of school left before graduation, he has already committed to remain in-state for the next chapter of his golf career and play for the Georgia Bulldogs.
