Ben James watches his shot on the 10th hole during the third round of the 2025 Valero Texas Open.

Amateurs have always been a big part of the USGA events, and that includes the U.S. Open.

This year, at the 2025 Open at Oakmont, the ams will be well represented.

Of the 744 names on the tee sheets at the 10 final qualifying sites at the beginning of the day on Monday, June 2 – also known as Golf's Longest Day – there were 236 amateurs.

Monday night, seven of them got through and punched their tickets to the U.S. Open.

There was one qualifier in Florida that needed to conclude on Tuesday due to dangerous weather on Monday and an amateur was among the four qualifiers there.

Also, there were two ams who got through final qualifying back on May 19. That brings the total to 10 the number of ams who navigated final qualifying to make it to Oakmont.

Three amateurs really shined, finishing first in their respective final qualifiers on Monday.
