F-22: Top 60 points leaders in the Official World Golf Ranking, as of June 9, not previously exempt

Young will make his seventh U.S. Open start after first surviving final qualifying in Columbus, Ohio, and then becoming fully exempt by virtue of jumping from 66 to 56 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Young had originally survived a 5-for-1 playoff at Kinsale Golf & Fitness with a birdie on the first hole against a group that included PGA Tour winners Rickie Fowler, Max Homa and Eric Cole. Cole eventually benefitted from Young's tie for fourth at the RBC Canadian Open on June 8, as he got into the field as the second alternate when Young jumped inside the top 60 of the OWGR. Young was named the 2022 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year after tying for third in the PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club, in Tulsa, Okla., and then following it up with a runner-up showing in the 150th Open Championship on the Old Course at St. Andrews . Before gaining his PGA Tour status for the 2021-22 season, the former Wake Forest standout registered a pair of Korn Ferry Tour wins on consecutive weekends in May 2021: the AdventHealth Championship and Evans Scholars Invitational presented by First Midwest Bank. The son of former Sleepy Hollow Country Club head professional David Young registered three victories in his senior season for the Demon Deacons and had a stroke average of 70.56. In 2017 he became the first amateur to win the New York State Open. He advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2014 U.S. Amateur and was a member of the 2014 USA Junior Ryder Cup Team. Young also was a member of the victorious 2022 U.S. Presidents Cup Team.
