The Open - Local Final Qualifying

its 3 per RQ isn't it? based on the 1st round scores so far I think you'll have to be at least -4 after 36 to be in with a chance- even then it could be a playoff

Yeah, 3 per course. I agree, they'll need to be a few under par to even have a sniff. All you can do in the first round is make sure you have a chance.

Can you imagine being in a playoff for a place in The Open? I get the shakes on the 1st tee in the medal - I'd be a wreck.
 
What's wrong with you man? drive to the top of the hill, 7i, two putts, simples ;)

to be fair - it is a brutal finishing hole

It's a very long Drive from the tee of the Musselburgh course that I thought was being used - Monktonhall!:rofl:

Doh! :o

Indeed, last 3 holes are a tough, but great, finish!

I think Steven Tiley might be a fan too!

Will Bowe from my place has a pair of 69's at Musselburgh for a 4 under total. That treble in the morning round could be costly...

I fear so!

I'd pick 5 or 6 as being the limit - and almost certainly a play-off!
Tiley probably through - disasters notwithstanding. Happened to Tom Lewis dropped 7 shots in 12 holes last week though!

Lloyd Saltman hit 8 birdies - but 3 Bogies and a Double - so there's scope for great scores!

Just heading home from work now and will walk down to the West Links watch the action conclude from about 6.15. I'm rooting for all the amateurs out there. Hope there's a play off and a great atmosphere.

Looking a bit more hopeful now!:D

And Playoff looking less likely, though still possible!

Nothing's going to be certain for an hour or 2 though!

Hoping the weather is awful and getting worse! Must be extremely nerve racking for all the players, lets be honest for a lot of the guys involved, qualifying for the open is going to be the highlight of their careers.
