Seventeen-year-old Mason Howell, a high school junior from Thomasville, Georgia, has qualified for the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club after a remarkable bogey-free performance during the final qualifying rounds in Atlanta. Howell shot back-to-back rounds of 63, finishing at 18-under-par to share medalist honors, surpassing numerous professionals including 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson. Ranked eighth in the American Junior Golf Association and committed to the University of Georgia, Howell has an impressive junior golf record with multiple tournament wins and recently helped his high school team win the Georgia state championship.

Howell's achievement highlights the rigorous and open nature of U.S. Open qualifying, where amateurs and professionals alike compete for limited spots in the prestigious tournament.
