US Open final qualifying: Miles Russell, 17, has Tiger Woods' son as caddie in securing Shinnecock Hills spot for 2026

Miles Russell, 17, earned a spot for the US Open on Monday, with 15-time major champion Tiger Woods' son serving as his caddie for his 36-hole qualifier.

Russell, the No 10 amateur in the world, survived a bogey on the first play-off hole to grab the fourth and final spot from the Florida qualifier.

Russell smiled when asked if he would have Charlie Woods - one of his close friends, who has the same commercial agent as him - also caddie for him at Shinnecock Hills, saying only: "We'll see what he's doing. To be determined."

Ten final qualifying events took place simultaneously on June 8, dubbed 'golf's longest day', with former USA Ryder Cup players Tony Finau and Max Homa both failing to make it through their respective qualifiers in Ohio-Springfield and Canada.

Finau missed out by two shots and will not be at the US Open for the first time since 2017, while Homa was undone for the second straight year in qualifying by a play-off.

Ireland's Seamus Power also failed to qualify from the field in Canada, as did England's Matt Wallace, while Billy Horschel was among the five to make it through at Ohio-Springfield.

They were among 715 players at 10 sites across the US and into Canada, all of them vying for 43 spots available for the 126th US Open.

Previous qualifiers were held in England, Japan and Dallas.
