Padraig Harrington's US Open qualifying charge set to come up short
Padraig Harrington looks set to miss out on US Open qualification by the narrowest of margins despite firing a round 66 in the final round of qualifying in Columbus, Ohio. With six qualification spots up for grabs at the Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club qualifier in Ohio, Harrington's prospects seemed remote after posting a two-over par 74 in his first 18 holes. However, the three-time major winner caught fire on the outward nine of his second round, rattling in consecutive birdies on the third and fourth and then three on the trot on the seventh, eighth and ninth. Another birdie on 11 lifted onto four-under overall and into tied-sixth, putting himself in a playoff spot. However, the birdies dried up after that before a dropped stroke on 17 essentially ended his chances. He did finish with a closing birdie to finish "the longest day" on four-under, currently tied-11th, with six players already finished their round on five-under or better. Among that grouping are Erik Van Rooyen, who qualified with ease on 13-under, and a high-powered group of players all on five-under par, including Cameron Young, Max Homa and Rickie Fowler. Harrington, whose best finish at the US Open was tied-fourth at Olympic Club in 2012, last played the tournament in 2023, placing tied-27th after qualifying through his US Senior Open victory the year before. 2010 US Open champion Graeme McDowell is currently battling to qualify, and sits at four-under par after 10 holes, lying in tied-15th at the Emerald Dunes qualifier in Florida. The top-four in Florida will earn a spot at Oakmont, with McDowell now three strokes adrift. Seamus Power's US Open's prospects are over, the Waterford golfer withdrawing after a two-over par opening round of 72 at Lambton Country Club in Canada. Tom McKibbin is also set to miss out on qualification. The LIV golfer is running at two-over par with just one hole remaining of his 36 at Duke University Golf Club in North Carolina. Roganstown amateur Patrick Keeling, playing in the same qualifier as Harrington, is in tied-49th on six-over par with only a couple of holes remaining.

Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was named host of the 2032 PGA Championship on Tuesday by the PGA of America, making it the first course to host six times. Southern Hills most recently hosted the PGA Championship in 2022, when American Justin Thomas captured his second major crown. The PGA Championship was also staged there in 2007, 1994, 1982 and 1970 and the course hosted US Opens in 2001, 1977 and 1958. "We could not be more excited to return to Southern Hills Country Club for the 114th PGA Championship in May 2032," PGA of America president Don Rea said. Tiger Woods won the 2007 title at Southern Hills, capturing his fourth Wanamaker Trophy, while Zimbabwe's Nick Price won the 1994 PGA, Ray Floyd took the 1982 crown and Dave Stockton was triumphant in 1970. US Open titles won at Southern Hills went to South African Retief Goosen in 2001, Hubert Green in 1977 and Tommy Bolt in 1958. The championship course at Southern Hills was designed by Perry Maxwell and opened in 1936. Gil Hanse renovated the layout in 2019. Other future venues for the PGA Championship include Aronimink near Philadelphia in 2026, Frisco, Texas in 2027, San Francisco's Olympic Club in 2028, Baltusrol in New Jersey in 2029, Congressional Country Club near Washington in 2030 and Kiawah Island in South Carolina in 2031. js/ea
