Four sectional alternates added to U.S. Open field

The USGA added six players to the final field for the 115th U.S. Open, including four alternates from sectional qualifying.

Two players, Kevin Kisner (No. 55) and Andy Sullivan (58), qualified for the Chambers Bay event based on being inside the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking as of Monday. That left four remaining spots that the USGA had reserved for players possibly playing their way into the Open via the rankings.

Kevin Chappell, Jimmy Gunn, Steve Marino and Josh Persons were awarded the quartet of spots as alternates at sectional qualifying.
