Eugenio Chacarra becomes first LIV Golfer to make the 2024 US Open field through qualifiers

The 24-year-old Spanish golfer, Eugenio Chacarra has qualified for the 2024 U.S. Open thanks to his performance at the ongoing qualifier event in Texas. As such, the LIV Golf's Fireball GC star is now all set to make his first Major debut.

Chacarra competed at the qualifying event at Dallas Athletic Club in a field of 130 players for 11 spots. Having shot rounds of 66 and 70 to card in 6 under over the two rounds, Chacarra tied with PGA Tour player Mac Meissner.

The 2022 LIV Golf Bangkok winner will play the first Major of his career at the iconic Pinehurst No. 2 course from June 13 to 16. Chacarra will be looking to put up a show at the 2024 U.S. Open after his heroics at the 2023 St. Andrews Bay Championship. On that occasion, Eugenio defeated Matt Jones in what was a classic encounter. The two LIV Golf players went head to head in an incredible sudden death playoff that went on for 10 holes before Jones conceded.

Chacarra becomes the tenth LIV Golf player to be exempted from the competition to participate in the U.S. Open. The other exempted players are Adrian Meronk, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith, Martin Kaymer, Phil Mickelson, and Tyrrell Hatton.
