The 122nd U.S. Open is June 16-19 and Monday is the final day for some to make the field for The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Monday is known as “Golf’s Longest Day,” as it’s a 36-hole grind at nine locations—eight in the U.S. and one in Canada—for the final spots in the third men’s major of 2022.
The U.S. Golf Association reports the number of golfers at each qualifier and the final number of available spots will be announced on Monday.
Golf Channel has 10 hours of coverage planned starting at 7 a.m. There are three live TV windows: 7-9 a.m., noon-2 p.m. and 6 p.m.-midnight. All times are ET. Live scoring at the nine sites can be found here: https://www.usopen.com/qualifying/final.html.
