Last year, Justin Rose and Dan Brown enjoyed spectacular weeks at Royal Troon, a true elaboration of the final qualifying match.
Rose will tie the second time at Burnham and Berrow, while Brown is almost Scotland’s story this week, showing up from 36 holes in West Lancs before taking the tenth.
Again, 288 hopeful people will be distributed in the same four venues, the links of Royal Fish Terre and Dunnard constitute the quartet, each venue will have 72 players on Tuesday, July 1.
At the end of the 36 hole, the leading five players will stamp tickets for the Royal Portrait, and if tied, will be played with a sudden death playoff.
Burnham and Bello
Last year, Abraham Ancer traveled to Troon with Rose. This year, the Mexican took a great three-goal game with Chris Wood and Eddie Pepperell. Both Britons enjoyed huge weeks at the Open, and the wood is much closer than the 2009 Turnberry.
Otherwise, look for Harry Hall in form or Brandon Robinson-Thompson.
Dundonald Links
Once upon a time, Jamie Donaldson and Lee Westwood were paired in the Ryder Cup. Now, they will be back to Scotland, but on the way 75 miles away in Ayrshire.
Also on the scene was LIV star Adrian Meronk, an essential three-goal for Alex Noren and American Amateur Stewart Hagestad.
Strangely, the largest crowd may be with Youtuber Peter Finch, who ranked first in Caldy qualifying.
Royal Fishing Territory
Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen is on the brink of the European Ryder Cup team and has a great performance in the Dubai rankings, but he will be pinning it to Kent with Graeme McDowell in Kent.
Headlines may join the well-known postman on the South Coast with son Luke. Thankfully, they haven’t paired Dad with Erik Van Rooyen and Tom Lewis.
Zellans
Former Masters champion Danny Willett is part of the Northwest setup as he hopes to return to Porthush, who is sixth in 2019. Otherwise, the owner’s name is the name of the Liv Tour who tried luck with Harold Varner III, Lucas Herbert, Sam Sam Horsfield and Andy Ogletree.
