English amateur golfer Tyler Weaver will compete at the US Open after earning a spot via the gruelling qualifying tournament. 

The 22-year-old earned a qualifying spot for the tournament at Oakmount, Pennsylvania.

Weaver, along with other US Open hopefuls, played 36 holes at 10 venues across the US and Canada.

Successful qualifiers earn one of 47 spots in the tournament, which gets underway on 12 June.

Finishing tied for third, Weaver became one of three amateurs to qualify in Atlanta.

Seventeen-year-old American Mason Howell won that qualifier, while past Major winners Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson missed out.
