Sergio Garcia will miss out on appearing at the US Open for the first time this century after failing to progress through a Final Qualifying event in Texas on Monday.
The former Masters champion bogeyed his final hole in 36-hole qualifying at Bent Tree Country Club to finish on six under, costing him a spot in a 7-for-1 play-off for the last of seven spots up for grabs.
Spaniard carded rounds of 65 and 71 to fall short of his bid to earn a spot at the third major of the year, live from June 12-15 on Sky Sports, with Garcia now set to be absent from the US Open field for the first time since 1999.
Garcia has made 25 consecutive US Open appearances
Garcia’s failure to qualify is a further setback in his hopes of featuring in Europe’s Ryder Cup side this September, with the Spaniard having limited opportunities to earn qualification points due to him competing in the LIV Golf League.
The 45-year-old has failed to build on a positive start to the season, failing to make the weekend at The Masters before finishing tied-67th at the PGA Championship – ending a run of seven consecutive missed cuts there, with Garcia admitting to a drop in form.
“At the moment, it’s unknown,” Garcia told Sky Sports after his final-round 69 on Sunday at Quail Hollow. “Some good things and some terrible things.

“I definitely need to keep working on it and improve it to make sure that I give Luke a chance of having me in New York. Some really nice things but then a couple of shots that make you want to puke a little bit.”
Garcia posted top-six finishes in three of his first five LIV Golf League starts this season, including victory in Hong Kong in March, then adding a fourth-place finish at an International Series event on the Asian Tour, but has ended outside the top-40 in his two LIV Golf starts since The Masters.
Garcia would likely require a captain’s pick if he is to have any chance of featuring for Europe in New York
Europe’s record Ryder Cup points scorer has regularly discussed ambitions of making a record-equalling 11th appearance for Team Europe at Bethpage Black this September, but claims his current form would not currently make him a worthy pick.
“Obviously the way I’m playing, even if Luke [Donald] offered me a pick right now, I would tell him no,” Garcia told reporters after his final round at the PGA Championship. “So obviously I need to get better.
“I need to get more where I was just before the Masters. You know, just show myself and show everyone that my game is solid, and it can help Team Europe. It’s as simple as that.”
Team Europe captain Luke Donald denies that he has ‘locked in’ any players for the Ryder Cup this year as he discusses eligibility of LIV golfers, including Jon Rahm
Who did progress through Final Qualifying?
Denmark’s Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen carded rounds of 66 and 65 to top the leaderboard on 11 under in Dallas, with three-time PGA Tour winner James Hahn and Adam Schenk a further stroke back in tied-second.
Amateurs Lance Simpson and Cameron Tankersley shared fourth spot with Mexico’s Carlos Ortiz, who plays on LIV Golf, with American Johnny Keefer the player to progress from the play-off.
LIV Golf’s Cameron Tringale and compatriot Doug Ghim secured the two spots on the alternate list, with Eugenio Lopez Chacarra – winner of the Hero Indian Open earlier this season – among those to miss out.
Last year’s Valspar Championship winner Peter Malnati and Germany’s Matti Schmid both joined Garcia in falling one shot short of the play-off, with Scott Piercy – who finished tied-second when the US Open was last held at Oakmont – Cameron Champ and Abraham Ancer also missing out.

Final Qualifying is held across 13 venues – 10 in America, one in Japan, one in Canada and one in the UK, with each course hosting a 36-hole event for players to try and secure their entry into next month’s US Open.
Ryder Cup captain Edoardo Molinari was among eight to progress through Monday’s qualifier at Walton Heath and three more earned their spots in the Japan event, while the final 10 qualifiers take place on June 2.

How did Rockies get here? Inside doomed approach that made MLB’s worst team and why things likely won’t change
Getty Images When it comes to inspiring gossip within the baseball industry, the Colorado Rockies are the unrivaled kings. Whether it's the owner who responds to fan messages, or the analytics staffers pulling double-duty as clubbies, many of the stories spread about the Rockies by members of other front offices sound fabricated, right up until the time when their authenticity is confirmed. No development, no matter how outlandish, seems to land outside the foul line in Colorado.Just as there is no ceiling on ludicrous stories generated by the Rockies organization, there appears to be no floor on their current squad. Indeed, Colorado enter Tuesday on pace to lose 134 games this season, 13 more than last year's Chicago White Sox squad that posted the worst record in modern Major League Baseball history. The Rockies' run differential (-150), meanwhile, is nearly […]
Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Matt Shaw offers upside after strong showing in return to Cubs lineup, and more
You know why we don't do victory laps after just a few starts? Because we don't want to look dumb. Robbie Ray became a popular breakout pick with his spotless spring performance before the season, and then he totally fell on his face to open the season. Ray had a 2.93 ERA through his first three starts but with just 13 strikeouts in 15.1 innings and 10 walks. And then he was tagged for four runs over four innings with four more walks in his fourth start and it looked like Ray was going to prove to be a big-time spring overreaction. Or not.Ray went punch for punch with Kris Bubic in a pitcher's duel Monday to lower his season ERA to 2.70, and he's been basically untouchable for the past month. Since that four-run outing on April 16, Ray has 40 […]
Marcus Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, vows change after February arrest involving Lamborghini on train tracks
Getty Images Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, made personal changes following his February arrest in Orlando, Fla., after his Lamborghini SUV got stuck on train tracks leading to various charges, including drug possession. The former UCF basketball standout posted on Instagram over the weekend that he was 40 days sober and working to improve his physical well-being.Originally charged with cocaine possession, police later downgraded charges to possession of ketamine, along with DUI, property damage and resisting arrest.Ketamine is an anesthetic often confused for cocaine and has hallucinogenic effects. Footage of Jordan's arrest shows an officer telling Jordan he had concerns about his "level of impairment" and smells alcohol, before not allowing him to re-enter his vehicle with a female companion. Jordan told police he made a wrong turn."I appreciate your concerns, but I'm not inebriated," Jordan tells […]
