Kiwi lefthander Tim Wilkinson has qualified for the US Open.

The 37-year-old's finished second at a qualifying tournament in Florida, clinching one of four places for the major championship.

Wilkinson went 7-under-par to finish in second place at the two round tournament to clinch his place in Pennsylvania next week.

US PGA Tour regular Wilkinson hasn't contested a Major tournament before.

Wilkinson's enjoying a positive run of form on the PGA Tour this year, and will join Kiwi No.1 Danny Lee in the elite field for the US Open starting at Oakmont Country Club on June 16.
