Ryan Fox of New Zealand moved into the top 60 of the Official World Golf Ranking on Monday, making him exempt into the field for the major championship to be contested this week at Oakmont Country Club. Fox rocketed to No. 32 in the world by winning the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday, his second victory in his last four starts.
Cameron Young and Bud Cauley also weren't in the top 60 at the previous checkpoint on May 19, but on Monday, they were ranked Nos. 56 and 58, respectively. Young and Cauley had previously qualified for the US Open via a final qualifier in Columbus, Ohio last week.
Two alternates from that site, Chase Johnson and Eric Cole, were added to the field on Monday along with Doug Ghim and Japan's Takumi Kanaya and Riki Kawamoto.
Johnson and Cole were part of a 5-for-1 playoff for the final Columbus berth that also featured Max Homa and Rickie Fowler. Johnson is a PGA Tour Americas player with eight PGA Tour starts and zero previous major experience to his name. Cole was PGA Tour Rookie of the Year for 2022-23.
