History of U.S. Open Championship Entries

AMATEURS – Fifteen amateurs have made the 156-player field. Noah Kent, the 2024 U.S. Amateur runner-up, Trevor Gutschewski, the reigning U.S. Junior Amateur champion, and Evan Beck, the 2024 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion, are in this group.

Kent was runner-up to Jose Luis Ballester in the 2024 U.S. Amateur Championship, held at Hazeltine National Golf Club, in Chaska, Minn. Kent transferred from the University of Iowa to the University of Florida and will be eligible to compete for the Gators this fall. He tied for 11th in last year’s Big Ten Conference Championship as a Hawkeye.

Gutschewski, who was competing in his first U.S. Junior Amateur, defeated Tyler Watts, 4 and 3, in last year’s 36-hole final at Oakland Hills Country Club, in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. The son of PGA Tour player Scott Gutschewski, Trevor claimed the 2024 Nebraska Junior Match Play and 2022 Nebraska Junior Amateur.

Beck defeated Bobby Massa, 9 and 8, in the championship match at Kinloch Golf Club, in Manakin-Sabot, Va. Beck, the runner-up the previous year, posted the second-largest margin of victory in the event’s history. He also became the first stroke-play medalist to win the title since Scott Harvey in 2014.

Justin Hastings captured this year’s Latin America Amateur Championship by one stroke over Patrick Sparks, of Peru, at Pilar Golf Club, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Hastings is the second player from the Cayman Islands to win the LAAC Championship following Andrew Jarvis’s victory in 2022.

Michael La Sasso earned a U.S. Open full exemption as the 2025 NCAA Division I individual champion. La Sasso was chosen first-team All-American, All-Southeast Region and All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) as a junior on the University of Mississippi team in 2024-25. He recorded three victories and posted seven top-10 finishes overall.

Mason Howell, a 17-year-old high school junior from Thomasville, Ga., and Matt Vogt, a 34-year-old dentist from Indianapolis, Ind., were two of 10 amateurs to advance through final qualifying on June 2. Howell shared medalist honors in helping the Brookwood School to its fourth GIAA Class 3A state championship in the last five years. Vogt, who grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs, caddied at Oakmont Country Club for six years and played in the 2021 U.S. Amateur on the same course.

Ben James, now the University of Virginia’s only three-time, first-team All-American, was a member of the victorious 2023 USA Walker Cup Team. The rising senior advanced through final qualifying at Canoe Brook Country Club, in Summit, N.J., for a second consecutive year. Jackson Koivun, the 2024 Haskins Award and Phil Mickelson Award winner, also was a first-team All’-American for a second consecutive year. The Auburn University rising junior was voted the SEC Player of the Year this past season at Auburn. He led the Tigers to their first NCAA title during his freshman season.

Frankie Harris (South Carolina), Bryan Lee (Virginia), Zach Pollo (Arizona), Lance Simpson (Tennessee) and Cameron Tankersley (Mississippi) are all college golfers. Harris and Simpson were 2025 honorable mention All-Americans.

Note: Sixteen amateurs played in last year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. At least three amateurs made the 36-hole cut for the third consecutive year. John Goodman is the last amateur to win the championship (1933).
