Fifteen-year-old Cole Hammer qualifies for US Open

American golfer Cole Hammer qualifies for the US Open at the age of 15.

American golfer Cole Hammer will become the third-youngest golfer to play in the US Open this summer, at the age of 15.

Hammer came through local qualifying to earn his place in the 156-strong field who will compete for the second Major of the season next week.

"I've never been to a US Open before, I was just hoping to make the US Junior later this summer," Hammer told reporters.

"We didn't have any plans for that weekend, but I guess we do now."

China's Andy Zhang is the youngest player to ever play in the US Open after competing in 2012 at the age of 14.
