The last day to enter the US Open field is June 13th and that leaves some big names out. Here are some faces that might be missing from the tournament.
-
Ian James Poulter: He is down to #85 in world rankings. He has played in 12 consecutive U.S. Opens and is a Ryder Cup giant. Poulter is an English professional golfer who plays the PGA Tour and the European Tour. He has previously been ranked as high as number 5 in the world rankings. He is out for four months to nurse an injury of the foot. The European Talisman for the Ryder Cup has put a question mark on his ability to even play the team event though the final word on that hasn't been spoken.
-
Luke Donald: He has spent over 200 weeks in the top ten, was world # 1 in 2012 and since has slipped to 77th in rankings. In 2011, he won the PGA Tour money list and European Race to Dubai to complete a historic double, becoming the first player to win both money lists on the PGA and European Tours in the same year
-
Hunter Mahan: He has slipped in the world rankings to 143rd slicing his chances off. He has won two World Golf Championship events, the 2010 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the 2012 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
-
Trevor Immelman: The Masters Champion of 2008 who turned pro in 1999 hasn't yet booked his berth for the US Open
