Australians Geoff Ogilvy and Euan Walters have qualified for the US Open, along with New Zealand’s Michael Campbell after sectional qualifying on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Veteran Australian Peter Fowler is also a good chance of joining the field after a strong performance in Surrey, England.

Fowler, the 1983 Australian Open champion, is going through somewhat of a golfing renaissance, having earned full time status on the European Tour in the last few years and could appear at Pinehurst, depending on whether other players withdraw.

He and fellow Aussie Marcus Fraser fired two-round totals of 140 and will be alternates for the year’s second major, while Campbell secured his spot in the field with a two round total of 139.

Campbell, who finished third in the British Open ten years ago, has bounced back to form in recent weeks after missing his first five cuts this year. The talented 36-year-old hasn’t won a title since 2003, but is 18th on the European Order of Merit after good finishes at the British Masters and BMW Championship.

But Peter O’Malley (142), Terry Price (143) and Brett Rumford (143) missed out on their chance at Walton Heath Golf Club.

In Ohio, Ogilvy qualified with ease, shooting rounds of 67 and 64 to head the qualifiers at 13-under 131, while Walters carded 136 to get through. 2003 Us Open runner-up Stephen Leaney, Aaron Baddeley and Paul Sheehan all missed out.
