Smyth finished seven-under par, tied for fourth, with six spots unavailable for the United Leasing and Finance Championship in the town of Newburgh.
It took a third playoff hole for Smyth to seal his place with a birdie.
“Pleased to make the grade after bombing out at last week’s qualifier,” he wrote on his official website afterwards.
“It really adds something to what is a really worthwhile trip.”
Smyth recently turned professional after winning the NT PGA event in September.
He will tee off in the final group of the opening round with Americans Justin Bryant and Will Cannon, chasing a slice of a $US600,000 prize pool.
Smyth was tied for 10th at the Australian Open and top 20 at the Australian PGA and NZ Open last summer.
