WALLA WALLA, Wash. — Golf’s “longest day” lived up to its name Monday as 41 players battled for two spots in next week’s U.S. Open at Oakmont during a 36-hole final qualifier at Wine Valley Golf Club.

Former Spokane Falls Community College standout Brady Calkins and Indiana amateur Matt Vogt punched their tickets to Oakmont, both emerging from the same grouping to secure the coveted spots.

Calkins, who turned pro after one year at Spokane Falls, finished at 7-under. On the final hole, he stuck his approach on the green and calmly two-putted for par to lock in his second career U.S. Open appearance.

Vogt, the medalist at 8-under, also secured his spot with a routine par on No. 18 to clinch his first trip to the major championship stage.

Several local names made a push, including Gonzaga’s Guillermo Bodart, who drained a 17-foot birdie putt on the 18th, and Washington State’s Drayton Joseph, who holed a 15-foot birdie after escaping a greenside bunker.

Calkins and Vogt will now head east to join golf’s biggest names at Oakmont next week for the 125th U.S. Open.
