Final Qualifying: Shot 69-68--137 at Kinsale Golf & Fitness Club, in Columbus, Ohio, on June 2
The former University of Alabama All-American earned his third U.S. Open start, and first since 2017 at Erin Hills, by posting 7-under 137 in the Columbus, Ohio, qualifier. Cauley, who turned professional in 2011, owns one Korn Ferry Tour victory, the 2014 Hotel Fitness Championship. During his three seasons at Alabama, the Florida native was a three-time Golfweek, first-team All-American, and he represented the USA in the 2009 Walker Cup Match at Merion Golf Club. That year, he was the Southeastern Conference's Freshman of the Year. In the 2009 U.S. Amateur at Southern Hills C.C., he eliminated Rickie Fowler in the opening round of match play. He turned pro in 2011, the same year he tied for 63rd in the U.S. Open at Congressional C.C. In June 2018, Cauley sustained multiple injuries in a car crash but was able to return to competitive golf four months later. In 2025, Cauley has posted four top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour, including a solo third at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He also tied for sixth at The Players Championship.
