Open Championship Final Qualifying Scores And Live Updates: 20 Spots Up For Grabs Over Four Venues

DP WORLD TOUR IN ACTION

There are plenty of DP World Tour players in action, with multiple in contention for an Open spot at West Lancs.

Kazuma Kobori is five-under and T4th, as is Adri Arnaus. DP World Tour winner, Marcus Armitage, is four-under and T11th, as is Matthew Jordan.

Masters winner, Danny Willett, is also at the venue, and he is three-under and T19th, sitting alongside Joe Dean.

FIVE-WAY SHARE FOR THIRD

It's a similar story at Dundonald Links, where five players currently share third spot.

Wilson and American, Marcus Plunkett, are seven and four-under-par, respectively, while five players monitor third.

If it were to finish like this, we would have a five-for-three-playoff in Scotland.

WEST LANCS IS GETTING INTERESTING

Remember, the top five spots from each venue will earn a place at The Open, with some tight finishes already starting to appear.

At West Lancs, Bairstow is leading at 10-under, while two players are eight-under and one is six-under.

It's the battle for fifth that's most interesting, though, where seven players share that final spot. If it were to end like this, we would have a seven-for-one playoff!

SHARE OF THE LEAD

There have been some early moves this afternoon at Royal Cinque Ports, with Baard Bjoernevik Skogen joining Uihlein at the top of the leaderboard at eight-under.

Skogen is four-under through eight holes and making a charge. What's more, behind the Norwegian, Matthew Southgate and MJ Daffue share third at seven-under, with Catlin now solo fifth at six-under.

SURRATT JUMPS TO EIGHT-UNDER

Surratt birdies the 10th at Burnham & Berrow and moves to eight-under for the tournament.

He shot four-under this morning and is four-under this morning. He sits in a share of second alongside amateur Alejandro De Castro Piera.

BAIRSTOW'S HOT START CONTINUES

He eagled the first, and Bairstow has now birdied the second and third of his second round to move to 10-under and two clear of Christensen.

A 65 FOR NICHOLAS

James Nicholas has enjoyed a fine 2026 and has opened his Final Qualifying account with a six-under 65 at Burnham & Berrow.

He made it to the US Open via Final Qualifying, where he made the cut at Shinnecock Hills and finished T65th.

LIV REPORT

Several LIV players are competing in Final Qualifying, with a strong showing taking place at Royal Cinque Ports.

Uihlein is still the solo leader at eight-under, while John Catlin is six-under and in T4th. Behind the American, Thomas Detry is four-under and T8th, while Luis Masaveu and Dean Burmester are both two-under and in 16th.

WILSON MOVES THREE CLEAR AT DUNDONALD

Andrew Wilson is enjoying a fine day at Dundonald Links, with the Englishman carding a four-under opening round of 68.

That momentum has continued this afternoon, as he sits three-under for his front nine and seven-under overall, three strokes clear of Matthew Baldwin in second.

BRYAN BROS FIRING

Both George and Wesley Bryan are appearing at Open Final Qualifying for the first time, and they're making the most of it at West Lancs.

The brothers are both five-under and in a share of fifth, which would be a playoff right now.

George had to go through Regional Qualifying, while Wesley, who is a PGA Tour winner, has a familiar face in Peter Finch on the bag, who made it to Final Qualifying last year.

A MESSAGE FROM ROSEY

SURRATT CONTENDING

Caleb Surratt is a member of the LIV Golf League and qualified for the US Open via Final Qualifying last month.

Playing at Burnham & Berrow today, he is seven-under for the tournament. Producing a four-under 67 first round, he is three-under through eight during his second round.

STRONG START FOR BAIRSTOW

Speaking of West Lancs, Sam Bairstow has made the perfect start to his second round, eagling the first to move to eight-under and alongside leader Tiger Christensen.

Bairstow is a winner on the Challenge Tour and hasn't featured in The Open Championship since 2022, where he qualified via his runner-up finish at The Amateur Championship.

SERGIO UPDATE

Arguably the biggest name at Final Qualifying, Sergio Garcia is looking to qualify for The Open after narrowly missing out the last few years.

Playing at West Lancashire, The Masters winner carded a four-under first round of 68, but has started his second round poorly, sitting two-over through four to be two-under overall.

Work to do for the Spaniard, who is tied 22nd right now.

FIRST ROUND UPDATE

There has been a lot of golf played this morning, with the first round all-but done across the four courses.

Several notable names are in contention, with Peter Uihlein leading at Royal Cinque Ports via a six-under 66. He has also started the second round well, with the American two-under through four.

Owen Edwards tied the course record at Burnham & Berrow, firing a seven-under 64, while YouTube star, George Bryan, carded a 70 at West Lancashire, and has started excellently this afternoon, sitting three-under through six holes to be five-under overall.
