McGinley finds his form as Open qualifier tees off

Paul McGinley heads into today’s British Open 36-hole qualifier buoyed after storming his way to a share of third place at the BMW International Open near Cologne.

McGinley finished just one shot out of a play-off, which was won by England’s Danny Willett with a par at the fourth extra play-off hole for his first Tour success.

Willett (73) and Australia’s Marcus Fraser (71) ended regulation play locked at 11-under par.
