Olazabal in contention for British Open

Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal still had a chance to make his 22nd appearance at The Open despite three late bogeys in his first round of the 36-hole qualifying event at Sunningdale today.

The 46-year-old Spanish star came out of the blocks superbly to reach five under par after 14 holes, but had to settle for a two-under 67 on the New Course.
