Phil Mickelson has officially qualified for the U.S. Open following the United States Golf Association's official announcement regarding exemption criteria Thursday.
With the coronavirus pandemic forcing the PGA Tour to cancel several events, as well as local and sectional qualifying, some adjustments were made, including the amount of golfers who make the field based on their world golf rankings, according to ESPN's Bob Harig.
Normally, only the top 60 in the world rankings are exempt from qualifying, which could have seen Mickelson left out of the field since he was ranked 61st as of March 15.
