Austen Truslow defeated Luke Poulter in a two-man playoff Tuesday for the fourth and final U.S. Open qualifying spot at Emerald Dunes Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Play was suspended due to inclement weather on Monday night, extending the drama with four spots on the line for qualifiers to earn entry into the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont from June 12-15.

Justin Hicks (65-68), Philip Barbaree Jr. (69-64) and amateur Frankie Harris (66-67) all finished 11 under through 36 holes to qualify for this season’s third major.

Truslow’s game is distinguished on the course in part by his one-handed chipping method.

Truslow, 29, and Poulter, a 21-year-old junior at the University of Florida and son of LIV Golf’s Ian Poulter, finished tied at 10-under and went to a sudden-death playoff.

Truslow shot 68-66 and when play resumed Tuesday, Poulter (69-65) carded three birdies to force the playoff. Truslow became the 47th and final qualifier for the U.S. Open and Poulter will serve as an alternate.

Truslow qualified for the 2023 U.S. Open and missed the cut at 5 over with rounds of 72 and 73 at Los Angeles Country Club.

Since turning pro in 2015, Truslow has competed in eight PGA Tour events and made the cut just once. He has six starts this year on the Asian Tour with one finish in the top 30 (T29 at the New Zealand Open in February).
