FOUR AUSSIES BOOK THEIR PLACES
IN OPEN FIELD AT CARNOUSTIE

Sydney’s Ewan Porter played the round of his life while veteran professional Peter Fowler at last came to terms with The Lakes to be the first two of four players to make it through the Australasian leg of International Final Qualifying for the Open Championship at Carnoustie in July.
The competition for the remaining two spots was much more tense with Scott Laycock making a birdie at the first hole of sudden-death to take the third spot. That left Victorian Ben Bunny and Canberra’s Chris Campbell to tussle for the fourth and final spot.
And when Bunny played a delightful lob wedge to less than a foot on the second play-off hole for a tap-in birdie, Campbell was unable to match that effort and set off on the long trudge back to the clubhouse. So it is Porter, Fowler, Laycock and Bunny, who can pack their bags for the Open Championship in July.
For Fowler it will be his 11th Open championshp.
