Former Irish Open winner John Catlin secured his place in The 150th Open at St Andrews after qualifying through the Horizon Irish Open with Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti and Scotland’s David Law at Mount Juliet.

A three-way tie for fourth place between Catlin, Zanotti and Law meant all three claimed qualifying places ahead of Jorge Campillo, whose agonising bogey on the last proved vital as the Spaniard slipped to seventh after a 71 and missed out on his spot in the final Major of the season.
