The men’s major season continues this month at Oakmont, with coverage live from June 12-15 on Sky Sports Golf

Rickie Fowler and Max Homa - who carried his own bag - failed to qualify for next week's US Open after losing in a play-off to Cameron Young.

Dubbed 'golf's longest day', Monday saw players at 10 qualifying sites battle across 36 holes for 47 places in the field at the year's third major at Oakmont Country Club on June 12-15, live on Sky Sports Golf.

English amateur Tyler Weaver, 22, was among the players to book their place at Oakmont.

In the day's highest-profile event at the Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club in Columbus, Ohio, Young clinched the event's sixth final qualifying spot after triumphing in a five-way play-off.

The 28-year-old Young, who has recorded five top-10 finishes in majors since 2022, sealed his place with a 12-foot birdie at the first extra hole to defeat Fowler, Homa, Eric Cole and Chase Johnson.

Defeat represented particular heartbreak for Homa, who had carried his own bag for the event having split from his caddie, after he had dropped into the play-off by three-putting for par on the final regulation hole of his second round.

Homa had appeared at every major since The Open in 2019.

South Africa's Erik Van Rooyen sealed his spot at Oakmont by winning the event on 13 under par.

Three-time major winner Padraig Harrington finished just one shot outside the playoff after his second-round 66 was not quite enough to make up for an opening-round 74.

There was a fairy-tale story in Washington as American amateur Matt Vogt - whose full-time job is as a dentist - secured his maiden place in a major.

After shooting back-to-back 68s a thrilled Vogt, who hails from the Pittsburgh area and has past experience of caddying at Oakmont, said: "I knew I could do it, and Oakmont and Pittsburgh and everything there means so much to me.

"It took every ounce of energy in my body to not think about that all day ... I feel like I'm going to wake up from a dream here in a little while and this isn't going to be real, but it's real, and I'm so excited."

Elsewhere, Weaver secured a debut spot at a US Open after earning one of five qualifying places in Atlanta - an event where 17-year-old Mason Howell finished tied first with Jackson Buchanan after both shot consecutive rounds of 63.

England's Matt Wallace, a five-time winner on the DP World Tour, progressed from the event in Ontario.

In Maryland, the field originally contained 15 LIV Golf players but five withdrew - including Bubba Watson and Lee Westwood - while another five turned in their cards once it was clear they were not going to make the cut.

Monday's event at West Palm Beach in Florida conclude on Tuesday after being suspended due to bad weather.

Luke Poulter, son of former Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter, saw hopes of making his major debut dashed after losing a play-off to Austen Truslow for the last of four spots from that event.

Poulter Jnr carded a bogey-free 65 - which included an eagle and five birdies - for the second-best score of the final round, before losing out to a Truslow birdie on the second extra play-off hole.

Ryder Cup winner Nicolai Hojgaard finished two shots outside the play-off, while 2010 US Open champion Graeme McDowell was five adrift.
