The 2023 US Open will be played at the Los Angeles Country Club from June 15th to 18th and as at May 22nd six Australians and one New Zealander are amongst the 84 players currently exempt into the event.
Final qualifying will be played across 13 venues in the UK, Japan and the USA between now and June 5th at which it is possible for more Australasians to make the field.
Those exempt at present are Cameron Smith, Jason Day, Adam Scott, Cam Davis, Min Woo Lee, Lucas Herbert and New Zealander Ryan Fox.
Smith, Day, Scott, Davis, Herbert and Fox have earned their right to play via their standing inside the top 60 in the World Ranking as of May 22nd while Lee gains his start courtesy of being the leading player on the DP World Tour standing and not otherwise exempt for the event.
The brilliant weekend at the PGA Championship by Davis, when he produced a last round of 65 to finish in a share of 4th, swept him from 68th to 49th in the world ranking and he will get to play his first US Open.
The group will look to add to the names of David Graham, Michael Campbell and Geoff Ogilvy as winners of the event from our part of the world.
