AFTERWORD – THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
17th July 2022
Italy’s Filippo CELLI won the low amateur Silver Medal at St. Andrews. His scores of 74, 67, 71 and 71 for a 283 total (-5) was good enough for a tied 47th finish.
Celli who is from Rome and a rising junior at Texas Christian University said “I’m feeling very happy and proud. I can’t ask for a better thing than to win the Silver Medal at the 150th Open in St. Andrews.”

Six amateurs, namely Sam BAIRSTOW (ENG), Barclay BROWN (ENG), Filippo CELLI (ITA), Aaron JARVIS (CAY), Keita NAKAJIMA (JAP) and Aldrich POTGIETER (RSA), qualified for The 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews.
Barclay BROWN (ENG) -6 Tied 12th, Filippo CELLI (ITA) -3 Tied 36th, Sam BAIRSTOW (ENG) Ev Tied 66th and Aaron JARVIS (CAY) Ev Tied 66th all made the Top 70 and Ties cut which fell at Even par. In total 83 players in the field progressed.
This continues the ‘over-achievement’ trend seen at Opens played on the Old Course. Five amateurs made the cut in the 2015 Open staged at St. Andrews. However, just four made the cut in the five Opens played subsequent to this year’s return to Fife.
They will now play the final 36 holes over the weekend with the lowest scorer amongst them earning the Silver Medal prize.
The other two amateurs, Keita NAKAJIMA (JAP) +3 Tied 107th and Aldrich POTGIETER (RSA) +6 Tied 134th, both missed the cut.

This article focusses on Regional and Final Qualifying and in particular the performances of the AMATEUR golfers seeking to earn a spot in The 150th Open Championship.
Introduction
156 players will contest this year’s Open Championship which will be played on the Old Course at St. Andrews between 14-17 July 2022.
The majority of the field is made up of exempt players; former major champions, winners of prestigious professional events, leading players in the OWGR and a handful of amateurs.
The following four amateurs have earned exemptions into The Open through their prior Championship victories: –
The Amateur Champion 2022 – Aldrich POTGIETER (RSA)
The European Amateur Champion 2022 – Filippo CELLI (ITA)
The Mark H. McCormack Medal (WAGR) winner 2021 – Keita NAKAJIMA (JAP)
The Asia-Pacific Amateur Champion 2021 – Keita NAKAJIMA (JAP)
The Latin America Amateur Champion 2022 – Aaron JARVIS (CAY)
The U.S. Amateur Champion 2021 James PIOT (USA) turned Pro ahead of joining the LIV Golf Series thus foregoing his exemption.
The other players in the field have had to qualify. 34 places were allotted to The Open Qualifying Series. The leading 2-4 players, not already exempt, in the top 8-12 at 16 professional tour events played in 2022 secured these. A further 16 spaces, increased from the normal 12, have been given over to Regional and Final Qualifying. Regional Qualifying was played on Monday 20th June and Final Qualifying on Tuesday 28th June.
FINAL QUALIFYING
Final Qualifying took place over 36 holes at four venues across Great Britain on 28th June 2022.
There were 288 players competing including 72 amateurs.
16 places in The Open, 4 from each event, were guaranteed by The R&A. Any ties for the last qualifying place in each event was decided by a sudden-death play-off.
Two amateurs Barclay BROWN (ENG) and Sam BAIRSTOW (ENG) were successful at Final Qualifying and will now play in The Open Championship at St. Andrews.
Here are the amateur results from the four venues: –
