Luke Poulter agonizingly missed out on his first-ever start at a Major despite a superb performance in US Open Final Qualifying on Monday.

The son of European Ryder Cup legend, Ian posted 10-under across his two rounds at Emerald Dunes Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida but fell in a direct playoff against American pro, Austen Truslow.

The 21-year-old ended one stroke behind automatic qualifiers Justin Hicks, Philip Barbaree Jr and amateur, Frankie Harris in regulation, but ultimately ended up with the first alternate spot ahead of 18-year-old pro, Blades Brown. You may like
