Luke Donald survives playoff for US Open spot (The Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Luke Donald went two extra holes to join four other players earning a spot in the U.S. Open after a playoff Tuesday morning.

Donald, a former world No. 1 who has been eligible for every U.S. Open since 2005, made two pars in the six-man playoff in the Ohio qualifier that featured the strongest field. The others advancing were Patrick Rodgers, Jason Allred, Richard Schembechler II and Texas Longhorns sophomore Scottie Scheffler.

Daniel Summerhays was eliminated when he missed a 5-foot putt on the second playoff hole.
