The US Open takes place from the 13th to the 16th of June at the infamous Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. 156 players are invited to compete at the third major of this year after the Masters Tournament in April and the PGA Championship, which took place in May. The qualifying tournaments for the major took place last weekend, whereas Adam Scott’s major streak is in jeopardy.

US Open 2024 without Adam Scott?

As for the other majors, there are also various criteria for participation in the US Open. After Australian Adam Scott failed to qualify in advance, he took part in a qualifying tournament last weekend. In order to secure one of the starting places at the US Open, he ultimately had to compete in a playoff with Cameron Davis, which he lost in the end. As a result, he was unable to secure a place, which not only makes his participation in the tournament uncertain, but also jeopardizes his streak of major appearances, which is the longest active streak in professional golf.

After Davis gave him the chance to qualify in the playoff with a bogey finish in the qualifying tournament, Scott was unable to keep pace with Davis’ birdie on the third play-off hole. Earlier, Davis had countered a chip-in from Scott on the first playoff hole with an important and difficult putt to keep the playoff going. For Adam Scott, who has played in every major since the 2001 Open Championship, there is still a chance of a starting place at the US Open this year. The USGA has kept a total of six places open for players who qualify late via the World Golf Ranking.

Matt Kuchar and Phil Mickelson at every US Open at Pinehurst

In the other qualifying tournaments, a total of 687 players competed for 44 places in the upcoming Major. Among others, Matt Kuchar prevailed in Florida. Together with Phil Mickelson, the two will be the only players to have taken part in every US Open held at Pinehurst (1999, 2005, 2014).

The tournaments were rather mixed for the players in the LIV Golf League, of which a total of 17 players competed. Only two of them, Dean Burmester and David Puig, came out on top. Joaquin Niemann was unfortunate to miss out with a double bogey shortly before the end of his final round.

The 35-year-old American Justin Lower’s first participation in the US Open is a matter close to his heart, as he became emotional in an interview after his qualification. “The Sunday of the US Open usually falls on Father’s Day and I lost my dad when I was 15. Just to be able to play on that day in the US Open will be really cool.”

After a thrilling final, Robert MacIntyre can finally call himself a PGA Tour winner. The 27-year-old Scot prevailed against strong competition at the RBC Canadian Open 2024 and emerged victorious.

WITB: Robert MacIntyre with a diverse mix

Robert MacIntyre is one of the few players on the tour who is left-handed and therefore stands out. The Scot has been dreaming of winning on the PGA Tour for several years. On 2 June, his dream was to come true and he celebrated an emotional triumph. The clubs that led him to victory are a colourful mix of Titleist, Cobra and TaylorMade. His father supported him on the bag, which is hugely important for the left-hander: ‘It was always my dream to win on the PGA Tour when I got my PGA Tour card and I just can’t believe I did it with my dad on the bag. The guy taught me how to play golf.’

Driver: Titleist TSR2 (9°)

3-wood: Cobra Aerojet LS (14.5°)

Hybrid: TaylorMade Stealth 2 (19°)

Irons: Titleist 620 CB (4-9)

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (46°), SM9 (50°, 56°), WedgeWorks (60°)

Putter: TaylorMade Spider Tour

Ball: Titleist Pro V1

From Spectator to Caddie: Four Caddies in just One Day for PGA Tour Player

C.T. Pan’s caddie ribbon adorned more than just one caddie at the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday and was passed on to new hands like a baton. In total, it was passed on three times, meaning that a total of four caddies were at the professional’s side.

Pan and his caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan already had 54 holes behind them on the PGA Tour. The two have only recently become a team since “Fluff” parted company with Jim Furyk, at whose side he played golf tournaments for 25 years. The cut they made and their position in the top half of the leaderboard showed that they made a good team. On Sunday morning, however, the two parted ways: the caddie fell on the third hole and was unable to finish the round alongside Pan. A veritable relay race ensued.

PGA Tour: A caddie’s bib as a baton

Shortly after “Fluff’s” fall, C.T. Pan’s flight partner Shane Lowry was carrying his own bag, and Lowry’s caddie Darren Reynolds was carrying Pan’s bag. This, of course, was not a permanent state of affairs and that’s where Paul Emerson came in, who quickly went from spectator to caddie. Emerson offered his help when Pan accompanied the injured man to the medics: “I helped Fluff get the bib off, threw it on and started walking up the hole,” said Emerson. However, he didn’t last long. After around 30 minutes, he gave up his task.

Good performance despite chaotic circumstances

From then on, the shirt adorned the upper body of a member of the caddie team, Michael Campbell. But even he was not to remain at Pan’s side for long. In the end, Al Riddell, Paul Barjon’s caddie, took over the shirt for the back nine and finished the final round of the RBC Canadian Open together with Pan. Player and caddie knew each other from before. Despite all the circumstances, Pan played a 69 and finished tied 35th. The highlight of his round: an eagle on the par-4 12th.

At the start of the back nine, Shane Lowry laughingly remarked that Pan was probably setting a record with this round.

PGA Tour live

Through the Golf Post Live Blog you can follow all results on the PGA Tour live. Alongside the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), the PGA Tour is the world’s largest tournament series in men’s professional golf. The tour attracts prize money that is just as high as the level of the international elite that comes together at quite a few of the tournaments. The annual highlights of the season are the four major tournaments (co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour), the Players Championship and the final FedExCup playoffs, which conclude the season every year. Signature events were created for this purpose. These include the three FedExCup playoff tournaments, The Sentry, the invitational tournaments (Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament) and four other tournaments, which can change annually.

The PGA Tour has gained its importance primarily through its ability to retain top players through the attractiveness of the tournaments and the size of the prize money, which has risen steadily in recent years. The FedExCup is the American equivalent of the European Race to Dubai, with players collecting points throughout the season until the FedExCup winner is crowned in three tournaments in August. The FedExCup playoffs consist of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship and the final Tour Championship. The winner of the Tour Championship also becomes the winner of the FedEx Cup and secures the record jackpot of 25 million US dollars.
