The field for the 2023 U.S. Open is now set.
On Monday morning, the U.S. Golf Association announced three final exemptions as well as three alternates from final qualifying who are now a part of the 156-man field.
The 123rd U.S. Open starts Thursday at Los Angeles Country Club’s North Course.
With the additions of Emiliano Grillo, Pablo Larrazabal and Adam Schenk, there are 89 fully exempt players. Those three earned their spots when the Official World Golf Ranking was updated Monday with all three in the top 60.
Grillo (No. 43) will compete in his fifth U.S. Open. Pablo Larrazabal (No. 52) will play in his second U.S. Open. Schenk (No. 54) will also make his second U.S. Open appearance.
The three spots went to golfers who were alternates coming out of the 13 final qualifying locations: Bastien Amat, Michael Kim and Maxwell Moldovan (a).
Amat, Kim, and Moldovan were all first alternates at their qualifiers. Moldovan had a marathon day, ultimately losing in a playoff in the Columbus qualifier on the 44th hole to Adam Schaake.
