Former world No.1 Jason Day has ruled out the possibility of qualifying for the US Open at Torrey Pines next month, instead insisting that he will play his way in via the world rankings or miss it completely.
Returning to the AT&T Byron Nelson this week, a tournament he won in 2010, Day currently sits 62nd in the Official World Golf Rankings, outside the top 60 who automatically qualify for the year’s third major.
To secure a spot at Torrey Pines – where he won the Callaway World Junior title and has twice won the Farmers Insurance Open – Day needs to be ranked inside the top 60 either after May 24 (following next week’s US PGA Championship) or June 7 (after the Memorial Tournament).
