The United States Golf Association (USGA) today announced that five additional players have earned exemptions into the 120th US Open Championship, which will be contested at Winged Foot Golf Club (West Course), in Mamaroneck, N.Y., on Sept. 17-20, 2020.
The 144-player field for the championship is comprised entirely of exempt players due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The five remaining spots in the US Open field were filled using the 2019-20 FedExCup Final Points List (top five players, not otherwise exempt) following the Tour Championship, which concluded on Monday. The completed field, which was constructed through 28 exemption categories, features 11 past champions and 13 amateurs and includes players representing 25 countries. The average age is 30.96.
The five FedExCup Final Points exempt players are: No.15 Sebastian Munoz, 27, of Colombia; No.37 Brian Harman, 33, of Sea Island, Ga.; No.40 Tyler Duncan, 31, of Columbus, Ind.; No.44 Mark Hubbard, 31, of Denver, Colo.; and No.45 Danny Lee, 30, of New Zealand.
Munoz, who tied for eighth in last weekend’s Tour Championship in Atlanta, Ga., will compete in his second US Open. He won the 2019 Sanderson Farms Championship in a playoff with Sungjae Im last September and recorded five top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour during the 2019-20 season.
Harman was a runner-up along with Hideki Matsuyama to Brooks Koepka in the 2017 US Open at Erin Hills. He will make his fifth US Open start. Harman tied for third in A Military Tribute at Greenbrier, one of his eight top-25 efforts on the PGA Tour this season. Harman, who won the 2003 US Junior Amateur, owns two PGA Tour victories.
Duncan will play in his third US Open. His best finish is a tie for 56th in 2018 at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. He won The RSM Classic, in St. Simons Island, Ga., last November, defeating 2012 US Open champion Webb Simpson in a playoff. It was one of his four top-25 finishes on the PGA Tour.
Hubbard is one of 36 players in the field who will compete in his first US Open. He has three top-10 performances on the PGA Tour this season, including a tie for second in the Houston Open. He made the 36-hole cut in 19 of 24 events played.
Lee, who won the 2008 US Amateur at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club, had three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season, including a runner-up finish to Justin Thomas in The CJ Cup at Nine Bridges. Lee is playing in his third US Open and his best finish is a tie for 57th in 2016 at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club.
Winged Foot Golf Club will host the US Open Championship for the sixth time. Past Open champions at Winged Foot are: Bob Jones (1929), Billy Casper (1959), Hale Irwin (1974), Fuzzy Zoeller (1984) and Geoff Ogilvy (2006). The 120th edition is the 13th USGA championship to be conducted at the club. Winged Foot is one of four clubs to host the US Open, US Women’s Open, US Amateur and US Senior Open.
