Monday is the final qualifier for the U.S. Open. Called the "longest day in golf", there are 10 qualifying sites where golfers will play 36 holes, hoping to grab the remaining 40 or so spots for the U.S. Open in Pinehurst (June 13-16). Among those competing will be Jackson Buchanan and Tyler Goecke- Tyler earned a spot through local qualifying, and Jackson earned an exemption since he is top 50 in the amateur rankings. Here's the list of current and former Illini looking to earn a spot in Pinehurst:
