Columbus, Ohio (AP) - Cameron Young made 1 playoff game in three of his last four holes on Monday, then won a 12-foot birdie in two weeks at Oakmont.

The series is coast-to-coast and even enters Canada on the northern border, with 47 locations available in 10 qualified locations to fill the toughest tests in the field.

Monday was tough enough, especially for Max Homa.

He had the chance to get one of six attractions from Kincel's Ohio qualifiers while carrying his own bag with 36 holes (after a week of shrunk in the memorial), as he was already separated from the caddie. But he made the playoffs with three-pointers on the last hole.

Let those 38 holes drag his schoolbag.

Young's clutch performance goes forward, while Rickie Fowler is eliminated by bogey. Homa hit the 11th hole in an attempt to get a replacement position. He missed a par putt on that hole and walked a long way to the parking lot.

Young, who had endured a tough year, forced him to play the 36-hole qualifier, hit 9 to 8 feet on the 15th, hit Birdie in 16 and then reached 18 inches on the last hole to win a spot in 1 playoff 5-1 playoffs.

"I feel like I showed myself something today," he said. "I haven't seen anything for a long time today."

The playoffs began on the 10th hole, and the young batting driver entered the left side rough and judged the wedge perfectly 12 feet below the hole.

"I started the day here 12 hours ago and did 3 so I tried to do it again," he said.

Erik Van Rooyen opened at Kinsale at 64 and headed to Oakmont for the U.S. Open from June 12 to 15. He was on the field for six shots. Other qualifiers are Bud Cauley, Lanto Griffin, Justin Lower and Harrison Ott, which ranks 2,651st in the world rankings.

Cauley is ranked 56th in the world and will likely stay in the top 60 after the Canadian Open and enter the category. If that happens, Chase Johnson will make his first U.S. Open. He won two alternative postseasons with Eric Cole.

Zac Blair won the playoffs under his last spot in another Ohio qualifier at Springfield, former PGA Tour player John Peterson retired, and was then asked to return to an amateur.

Four positions in the Florida qualifiers did not end due to delays in rainfall.

Three of the five attractions from the Atlanta qualifiers entered the amateurs, with 17-year-old Mason Howell leading the way. The high school student bogeyed with a score of 126 below 126. Auburn's Jackson Koivun has also locked in the PGA Tour card, while Florida State sophomore Tyler Weaver has also locked in the PGA Tour.

The Toronto and North Carolina qualifiers offer seven attractions each - the PGA Tour is held in Canada this week, with Korn Ferry Tour in Carolinas Swing.

Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark and Emiliano Grillo of Argentina are one of seven qualifiers in Canada, and Kevin Velo leads the field. In North Carolina, Zach Bauchou led seven players to Oakmont. Two years ago, Bauchou won the memorial in Hovland, his college roommate, Viktor Hovland, in the qualifiers in Ohio State.

Most LIV golfers trying to qualify or take this into account are competing for four positions in Maryland. Australia's Marc Leishman, who has not yet obtained professional qualifications in the past two years since joining LIV, won one of four positions by defeating Liv player Sebastian Munoz.

The 15 players from LIV were originally in Maryland. When it became clear that they wouldn't do that, the five didn't turn in - not uncommon for Tour players - and the five retreated before they started, including Bubba Watson and Lee Westwood.
