THE 151ST OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

Christo LAMPRECHT (RSA) shot a 74 (+3) in the final round of The Open Championship.

His +11 72-hole total lifted him two places on the final leaderboard to 74th.

Whilst his aggressive strategy off the tee worked in the opening round it came off the rails as he continued with it for the remainder of the Championship. In the final analysis he only hit 15 out of 56 fairways.

Nevertheless as the only amateur to complete the 72 holes he duly collected the Silver Medal at the prize presentation.

He is the first South African to collect this prize and the first Amateur champion since South Korea’s Jin Jeong in 2010 to complete this ‘double’.

ROUND 3 SCORES

Christo LAMPRECHT (RSA) shot a 5-over 76 in the third round to fall to 76th place, last of the players who made the cut.

Hopefully he can finish strongly tomorrow before collecting the low amateur Silver Medal at the prize giving.

ROUND 2 SCORES

Friday generally proved to be a very difficult day for the six amateurs competing at Hoylake.

Christo LAMPRECHT (RSA) shot a 79 (+8) in Round 2, 13 shots worse than his opening effort. His aggressive “bomb and gouge” strategy finally caught up with him today as the wind picked up and his putter went cold. Fortunately his 145 (+3) tied 62nd 36 hole total saw him make the cut on the mark. As the only amateur to do so he is now all set to become the first South African winner of the Silver Medal prize.

Jose BALLESTER‘s (ESP) 73 and 74 was the most consistent effort from the group but +5 was only good enough for tied 85th and two shots too many to progress to the weekend.

Mateo FERNANDEZ DE OLIVEIRA (ARG) produced the best amateur round of Day 2 with a 72 but ultimately missed the cut in tied 102nd.

Tiger CHRISTENSEN (GER) finished in tied 125th on +9 but battled hard today for a creditable 74.

Alex MAGUIRE (IRL) +10 finished tied 129th. After a disappointing back nine he had to settle for an 80; a shame after should a good round yesterday.

Harrison CROWE (AUS) has played a reasonable amount of links golf over the last two summers but has simply never taken to it. It was therefore no surprise to see him shoot 76 and 80 for a +14 total and a tied 148th finish.

This article focuses on Regional and Final Qualifying for the 151st Open Championship and in particular the performances of the amateur golfers seeking to earn a spot in the final field.

You will find below an Introduction to this year’s Open Championship, followed by a discussion on Final Qualifying, which was played on 4th July 2023, then a report on the fifteen Regional Qualifying events, which were played on 26th June 2023.

Introduction

156 players will contest this year’s Open Championship which will be played at Royal Liverpool G.C. on 20-23 July 2023.

Five amateurs have earned exemptions into The Open through their prior performances: –
The 2022 Asia-Pacific Amateur Champion – Harrison CROWE (AUS)
The 2023 Latin America Amateur Champion – Mateo FERNANDEZ DE OLIVEIRA (ARG)
The 2023 Amateur Champion – Christo LAMPRECHT (RSA)
The 2023 European Amateur Champion – Jose BALLESTER (ESP)

Alex MAGUIRE (IRL) won the 2023 Open Championship Amateur Series. This new exemption was given by The R&A to the player who gained the most WAGR points in the St. Andrews Links Trophy, the Amateur Championship and the European Amateur Championship events (as long as they didn’t win the Amateur or European Amateur Championships which meant they were already exempt).

The 2022 U.S. Amateur Champion Sam BENNETT (USA) turned Pro at the end of the recent U.S. college season foregoing his Open exemption.

The 2022 Mark H. McCormack Medal (WAGR) winner Keita NAKAJIMA (JAP) 2022 turned Pro in September 2022, thus losing his place in the field too. However, he subsequently qualified as a pro through his 2nd place finish at The Open Championship Series Japan event on 25th-28th May to get back in.

The majority of the field will be made up of exempt players; former major champions, winners of prestigious professional events, leading players in the OWGR and the handful of amateurs listed above.

The remaining players in the field have had to or will have to qualify either via The Open Qualifying Series or Regional and Final Qualifying.

34 places have been allocated to The Open Qualifying Series. The leading 3-4 players, not already exempt, in the top 8-12 at 15 professional tour events in 10 countries played in 2023 secure these spots.

A further 19 spaces have also been given over to Regional and Final Qualifying. Regional Qualifying was played on Monday 26th June 2023 and Final Qualifying on Tuesday 4th July 2023. Players competing in Regional Qualifying were playing for the opportunity to play in Final Qualifying while the latter presents the actual gateway to The Open.

Low Amateur Silver Medal

The Silver Medal is awarded to the leading amateur in The Open Championship who completes 72 holes. Bronze Medals are awarded to all other amateurs who complete 72 holes.

FINAL QUALIFYING

Final Qualifying took place over 36 holes at four venues across Great Britain on 4th July 2023.

There were 288 players competing including 79 amateurs.

A number of amateur and professional players were exempt directly into Final Qualifying based on their past playing achievements. The rest of the field was made up of players who had come through Regional Qualifying.

19 places in The Open have been guaranteed by The R&A. Any ties for the last qualifying place in each event will be decided by a sudden-death play-off. Some Reserve spots will also be decided at these events.

Here are some details on the four venues with lists of all the remaining amateur competitors and their routes to this stage: –

This venue was substituted into the Final Qualifying roster by The R&A in May 2023 when it was decided that Burnham & Berrow G.C. was not in acceptable condition to stage the event this year; it’s fairways having not fully recovered from last summer’s drought.

REGIONAL QUALIFYING

Regional Qualifying took place over 18 holes at 15 venues across Great Britain and Ireland on 26th June 2023.

Any professional or amateur with a handicap index no higher than 0.4 (scratch) or a WAGR listing of 1st-2,000th during 2022-23 could enter Regional Qualifying subject to paying the entry fee.

Over 1,900 players teed it up in Regional Qualifying with 839 of these being amateurs.

117 qualifying places were allocated to the 15 venues by The R&A with 36 of them being picked up by amateurs.

In due course a number of Reserves from Regional Qualifying will also be promoted to the four Final Qualifying event fields. 32 amateurs earned Reserve spots and will now have their fingers crossed that other players drop out of Final Qualifying in the coming days.
