The U.S. Open is adding the NCAA champion to its field. It's part of slight changes to exemption categories. The U.S. Open will be played June 15-18 at Los Angeles Country Club. Among the tweaks to the exemption categories are creating five spots for PGA Tour players based on the FedEx Cup standings a month before the U.S. Open. It also is creating a few spots for European tour players. The U.S. Open also is able to return to 36-hole qualifying sites in England and Japan. Those have not been held the last three years because of the pandemic.
