Open Championship - IFQ

I see that the International Final Qualifying Europe is almost complete today at Sunningdale, again not entirely sure why they insist on 36 holes for these, but here's the leaderboard:

Gary Boyd and Alejandro Canizares looking secure

Monty is out

Could be a mass play off for the remaining few spots!

JPX,
That seems to be the case. And hopefully so for many of them. Assuming everyone from Donaldson at -1 and better playing the afternoon rounds, 4 of the 13 would have to reach -6 to knock the -5's out. Which would mean nine angry men. A shame I can't find a streaming broadcast of the round.

20 players didn't bother to go out in the afternoon and just withdrew.

What an awful attitude.

I agree George, especially if people have turned up to watch them.

11 tied for the last 3 places on offer now.

Nice turnround in form from Thomas Levet;
161 over the weekend at Celtic Manor, 131 at Sunningdale - wish I could take 15 strokes a round off my score.
I see we have a new man Storming into the lead, spectre of mass play-off receding.

10 men tied for 2 spots.

Cracking 2nd round from Storm.

Whiteford and Bourdy knock the -5's out of it!

This is better than some tournament finishes!!

End up with the -6s only just hanging in, 5 of them fighting for the final spot!

Pleased to see Levet get through. Always liked him, and he has a handy pedigree in this tournament.

Qualifiers:

1 STORM, Graeme England 65 62 127 -12
2 NOREN, Alexander Sweden 66 64 130 -9
T3 BOYD, Gary England 65 66 131 -8
T3 LEVET, Thomas France 65 66 131 -8
T3 WHITEFORD, Peter Scotland 67 64 131 -8
T6 CANIZARES, Alejandro Spain 67 65 132 -7
T6 FERRIE, Kenneth England 68 64 132 -7
T6 BOURDY, Gregory France 67 65 132 -7
T6 MCEVOY, Richard England 64 68 132 -7

Noren continues his good form. Good to see Ferrie in there

Not really familiar with Gary Boyd

Play off for remaining spot:

COETZEE
RUMFORD
KJELDSEN
LARRAZABAL
TULLO, Mark

My money is on Larrazabal!

Any word on who got the last spot?

It appears the play-off is still going on.

Disappointed Lowry didn't make it....Noren brilliant week continues would be nice if he could keep this up and get into the top 50.

It looks like Coetzee and Larrazabal are still fighting it out, Rumford and Son, Kjeldsen and Tullo miss out.

Remember, there are still a couple of places for high finishers not already qualified at the French Open and Scottish Open.

And Coetzee does it.
