Ernie Els, winner of the Memorial finished in 2nd place for the month with 398.71 points. Starting the U.S. Open final round only one shot behind Goosen, Els looked like he might be able to add a 2nd win for the month with a U.S. Open victory. However a score of 80 put an end to those hopes.
Buick Classic winner and #3 Sergio Garcia, finished his June effort with a tie for 20th at the U.S. Open gaining and additional 58 points to total 321.11. #4 Phil Mickelson added 240 points for his U.S. Open 2nd place finish and a June total of 258.35.
Adam Scott became the 4th winner for the month claiming the Booz Allen Classic by a 4-shot margin over Charles Howell III. However, since Scott had not previously earned points in the month and with the Booz Allen victory worth only 159.98 points, the 9th position was the best he could do.

Criteria for Golf Rank Index - Player of the Month
The Golf Rank Index (GRI) - Player of the Month is determined by totaling GRI ranking points earned in all GRI ranked professional golf events scheduled within a months time frame. Events that bridge a months end or beginning of another, are generally placed in the month in which they end, but may be shifted to the prior month to balance the number of events to be ranked in each month. In the event of a first place tie, co-winners will be named.
Eligibility - All players participating in GRI ranked events are eligible. They do not need to be a member of any professional golf tour.
Must Win - To be named a player of the month, the player MUST have a win in a GRI ranked event in the month. Should any player without a win earn the highest number of GRI ranking points for a given month, the player will be placed behind the highest ranked player with a win.
