Maybin grabs Open ticket

Gareth Maybin will tee up in the British Open at Muirfield next month after producing two splendid rounds in the international final qualifying at Sunningdale yesterday.

The 32-year-old posted a 36-hole total of 136 over the Old and New courses with rounds of 67 and 69.

That put the Irishman in a tie for third place behind American Brooks Koopka and England’s Oliver Fisher.
