Last
exempt places for Open up for grabsThe
final three exempt places in next week's Open at Carnoustie will be decided at
Loch Lomond these next four days. First-time
winners Sergio Garcia and David Park have booked their spots through a current
form league table which has been operating on the European tour since the Volvo
PGA championship at the end of May. The
next three on the table after the Standard Life Loch Lomond tournament will also
be spared the 36-hole final qualifying for the Open. Argentina's
Angel Cabrera, runner-up to Garcia in the Irish Open on Sunday, currently lies
third, just ahead of Garcia's fellow Spaniard Miguel Angel Martin and Lancashire's
Paul Eales. Midlander
John Bickerton trails Eales by just £631 and South African Roger Wessels
and Scot Gary Orr are not far behind them.
