After missing his last five cuts, Chris Nallen fell four spots and now occupies the bubble position at No. 25. He has a $2,853 cushion over David Hearn , whose was in contention for the win in Miami only to play the last 11 holes in five-over par.

The field of 98 competitors—59 professionals and 39 amateurs—features many of the Met Area’s best players, even more with local ties and a host of national talent as well. All will be competing for six qualifying positions (plus two alternates) into the 116th U.S. Open Championship, which will be held for a record ninth time at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa., June 16-19. A total of 10 SQRs will be conducted across the country on June 6, with competitors looking to survive a grueling 36-holes as the final step of advancing to the U.S. Open.
