The Open Championship subject continues to take form.
And it’s an enormous form.
As of Monday, the R&A lists 133 gamers as certified for the July 18-21 championship at Royal Troon. That features Tom McKibbin and Sean Crocker, who punched their tickets through the Open Qualifying Collection’ Italian Open.
There are two extra occasions left in that collection: the John Deere Traditional (prime two finishers not already exempt) and Genesis Scottish Open (prime three finishers not already exempt).
Additionally, ultimate qualifying takes place Tuesday with 16 complete spots up for grabs, 4 at every of the 4 websites.
And there are as much as 5 spots reserved for gamers which are ranked within the prime 20 of the Race to Dubai and who aren’t already exempt. Presently, Jesper Svensson (6), Laurie Canter (10), Nacho Elvira (11), Matteo Manassero (15) and Adrian Otaegui (16) would get these 5 exemptions.
Doing the maths for you, that may run the full variety of opponents to 159.
GolfChannel.com has reached out to the R&A for the way it will deal with a subject bigger than 156 gamers however has but to listen to again. The Open traditionally sends off threesomes off No. 1 tee, so it may very well be so simple as including another threesome to the tee sheet.
