Elsewhere, top of the incidentally list is the trio of Aaron Rai, Richard Mansell and Alex Noren who claimed the last three spots in this week’s Open Championship. Rai tied for fourth on 14-under-par alongside a group of already exempt players to take the first qualifying place. Mansell’s closing 61 saw him claim his spot, while Noren carded a 65 to finish on the same 13-under-par mark.
Which leaves one last thing. For those in search of an omen, the last man who won the Scottish Open and the Open Championship in successive weeks played, as those from Caledonia might put it, “corrie-fisted.” That’s left-handed in the King’s English. Phil Mickelson was the golfer in question back in 2013. So who knows what might happen at Royal Troon over the coming days? MacIntyre has already shown the world how much he likes a precedent.
