Open Championship place to be allocated at Barracuda Championship in Nevada
Sunday 26 June 2016 20:41, UK
The Open Championship organisers have allocated a qualification spot for the major to next week's Barracuda Championship in Nevada.
One player who finishes in the top five at the Montreux Golf and Country Club, who is not already qualified to compete at the Open, will secure a place at next month's event at Royal Troon.
In the event of a tie, the place will be allocated to the player with a higher world ranking.
Defending champion JJ Henry and former winners Gary Woodland and Geoff Ogilvy are all expected to compete in Reno.
The place was originally meant to be allocated at the Greenbrier Classic in July before the tournament had to be cancelled due to flooding in West Virginia.
The 145th Open is at Royal Troon. The only place to see it all live is on Sky Sports - the proud new home of the Open.
