LIV Golf player says late flight, fire alarm contributed to his DQ from Open Qualifier
With the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland just two weeks away, the R&A staged four qualifiers, each advancing the top five to the championship. Burnham & Berrow, Royal Cinque Ports and West Lancashire in England, as well as Dundonald Links in Scotland were the host venues. The R&A reported that 288 golfers were spread across the four courses. LIV Golf's Sam Horsfield was one of more than a dozen players from the fledgling circuit who flew back from a LIV event in Dallas and attempted to qualify. Horsfield's shot came at West Lancashire, where five players would receive a berth in the tournament after a grueling 36 holes of play. And while another LIV Golf member, Lucas Herbert, finished with the low score and a spot in the major, Horsfield left the event after just nine holes with a 43 on his scorecard. He also didn't alert anyone to the decision, meaning he was disqualified from the event. How come? On Tuesday, Horsfield took to social media to plead his case, saying in an Instagram story that he was "completely dizzy and out of it all day." Horsfield said a fire alarm forced him out of bed and he slept through an alarm, although he was fortunate that his caddie woke him up. In 2021, the Manchester, England, native made the cut and finished 67th, but he missed the cut in his other two appearances (2022, 2024).

Notable names in final qualifying for 2025 British Open Harry Hall, Erik van Rooyen, Alex Noren, Danny Willett and Eugenio Chacarra are among the notable names entered for Tuesday's final qualifier. Earlier this season, van Rooyen survived final qualifying to make the U.S. Open field. There are 20 Americans who are entered, including Kyle Westmoreland, who is competing in this week's Korn Ferry Tour stop in Springfield, Illinois. If he makes the cut there, it'll be a tight turnaround from Sunday's final round to Tuesday's final qualifier. In addition, there are 11 LIV golfers entered in final qualifying, including Ian Poulter, whose son Luke is in the same qualifier at Royal Cinque Ports. There are also 23 amateurs who will take their shot at making the Open field. After July 1, the final chance for golfers to get into the field at Royal Portrush is for the top three finishers, if not already qualified, at the Genesis Scottish Open, July 10-13.
