The Open Championship area is a giant one, projecting at over 156 gamers

The Open Championship area continues to take form.

And it’s a giant form.

As of Monday, the R&A lists 133 gamers as certified for the July 18-21 championship at Royal Troon. That features Tom McKibbin and Sean Crocker, who punched their tickets through the Open Qualifying Sequence’ Italian Open.

There are two extra occasions left in that sequence: the John Deere Traditional (prime two finishers not already exempt) and Genesis Scottish Open (prime three finishers not already exempt).

Additionally, ultimate qualifying takes place Tuesday with 16 whole spots up for grabs, 4 at every of the 4 websites.

And there are as much as 5 spots reserved for gamers which might be ranked within the prime 20 of the Race to Dubai and who aren’t already exempt. At the moment, Jesper Svensson (6), Laurie Canter (10), Nacho Elvira (11), Matteo Manassero (15) and Adrian Otaegui (16) would get these 5 exemptions.

Doing the mathematics for you, that might run the whole variety of opponents to 159.

GolfChannel.com has reached out to the R&A for a way it could deal with a area bigger than 156 gamers however has but to listen to again. The Open traditionally sends off threesomes off No. 1 tee, so it could possibly be so simple as including yet one more threesome to the tee sheet.
