Justin Rose wasn't eligible for the British Open for the first time in some two decades. So he went to England for 36 holes of qualifying and made it. Rose was a co-medalist in one of four qualifiers across the U.K. on Tuesday. He says qualifying was a reminder how special the Open is. Sergio Garcia wasn't so fortunate.
Justin Rose went to great lengths to secure a spot at Royal Troon and it paid off Tuesday when he posted rounds of 66-68 to be among 16 players who qualified at four links courses for the British Open.The British Open is July 18-21 at Royal Troon.
“You kind of take it for granted,” Rose said. “As you get a little older, things get a little harder. It makes you appreciate how special The Open is.” Garcia was among eight LIV Golf players who failed to qualify. Garcia had rounds of 71-70 at West Lancashire and missed the four qualifying spots by two shots.Men’s golf will have a good attendance record at the Paris Olympics“It was tough conditions and sometimes things don’t always go your way,” he said. “I tried everything I could and that’s all I can ask of myself.”
Jack McDonald, who grew up about 15 minutes away from Royal Troon, won a playoff to get the final spot out of Dundonald Links and join Sam Hutsby, Angel Hidalgo and Irish amateur Liam Noland.
