Preview: Poulter duo highlight entrants for The Open final qualifying
Ian Poulter and his son, Luke, will be among nearly 300 players vying for 20 available spots in The Open at Royal Portrush when final qualifying takes place Tuesday at four sites across the U.K. Five spots each will be up for grabs at Burnham and Berrow's Somersert course in England; Dundonald Links in Troon, Scotland; Royal Cinque Ports in Deal, England; and West Lancashire in Blundellsands, England, near Liverpool. The elder Poulter, who owns three top-10s in his Open career but hasn't played since 2022, is one of 14 current LIV Golf members entered into final qualifying. Luke Poulter is a likely Walker Cupper this year and a rising senior at Florida, where he overcame a serious back injury last year to finish as the 26th-ranked player in the nation this past season. The Poulters, who will play at Royal Cinque Ports, are trying to become the first father-son duo to compete in The Open since Christy O'Connor Sr. and Christy O'Conner Jr. in 1977. Only two sets of father-son duos have won Open titles – Old Tom Morris and Young Tom Morris, and Willie Park Sr. and Willie Park Jr. Here is the list of full-time LIV members playing: Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood, Graeme McDowell, David Puig, Dean Burmester, Adrian Meronk, Jinichiro Kozuma, Caleb Surratt, Anirban Lahiri, Harold Varner III, Lucas Herbert, Peter Uihlein, Sam Horsfield and Andy Ogletree. Luis Masaveu, who was recently replaced on Fireballs GC by Josele Ballester, will also attempt to qualify. Sergio Garcia did not enter final qualifying, though he earned his Open spot by edging Puig as the top-ranked player in LIV points not already qualified. Here is a closer look at some notables from each of the four sites: BURNHAM AND BERROW • Former GB&I Walker Cuppers Jake Bolton, Jack Davidson, Harry Ellis, Harry Hall, Niall Kearney, Thomas Plumb, Jack Singh Brar, Tom Sloman and Oliver Wilson. • Hall, the top-ranked player in any of the final qualifiers at world No. 73, is one of two current PGA Tour players in this field along with rookie Danny Walker. • Former British Amateur champions Ellis and Jacob Skov Olesen, plus the man that Olesen beat last summer, Dominic Clemons, who recently finished his college career at Alabama but is still listed as an amateur. Clemons plus fellow Englishmen Charlie Forster and Freddie Turnell are potential GB&I Walker Cuppers this year. • Caleb Surratt is joined by fellow LIV members Anirban Lahiri and Jinichiro Kozuma, who just tied for second at LIV Dallas. • England's Dan Brown opened last year's Open at Troon with a leading 65 before tying for 10th. He's currently 50th in the Race to Dubai. • England's Chris Wood, the former Ryder Cupper and Open low amateur in 2008, hasn't played an Open since missing the cut in 2019. He's dealt with neck and back injuries along with anxiety and burnout, but back in May he notched his first top-10 on the DP World Tour in seven years in Turkey. He's only played three times since, with two missed cuts and nothing better than T-65. DUNDONALD LINKS • Ireland's Gavin Tiernan is the recent runner-up to British Amateur winner Ethan Fang of Oklahoma State. • Scotland's Niall Shiels Donegan recently transferred from Northwestern to North Carolina and is a potential GB&I Walker Cupper this year. Speaking of Walker Cup, Scotland's Connor Graham, a rising sophomore at Texas Tech, is a strong bet to make his second team. • Past GB&I Walker Cuppers Jack McDonald, John Murphy, Liam Nolan, Caolan Rafferty and Marc Warren are also in this field. • Jamie Donaldson secured the winning point in his only Ryder Cup appearance, in 2014, though he's now 49 years old and has made just four DPWT starts this year. • Another former Ryder Cupper, Lee Westwood, is one of two LIV members here, along with Adrian Meronk. • Young South African Robin Williams was recently an alternate for the U.S. Open and is currently ranked just outside both the top 250 of OWGR and top 112 of DPWT's Race to Dubai. Jack Senior (85) and Callum Tarren (103) are also hoping for an extra start for DPWT points purposes. ROYAL CINQUE PORTS • The second highest-ranked player in this field is Denmark's Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen at world No. 87. The Oklahoma State product recently was T-12 at the U.S. Open and is currently 16th in the Race to Dubai. • France's Frederic Lacroix also qualified for this year's U.S. Open, where he missed the cut, and is currently 106th in the Race to Dubai. Also in this field is Sweden's Jens Dantorp (65), England's Matthew Southgate (89) and England's Nathan Kimsey (119). Southgate has played in six Opens – five times he's gotten through final qualifying at Royal Cinque Ports – with three top-25 finishes, including a T-6 in 2017. • Kimsey is also a former GB&I Walker Cupper, along with John Gough and Tom Lewis, the 2011 Open low amateur who also was T-11 at the 2019 Open at Portrush. • Florida State junior Tyler Weaver is among this year's potential GB&I Walker Cuppers, along with fellow Englishmen Luke Poulter, Harley Smith and Seb Cave. • One more U.S. Open qualifier, Maxwell Moldovan, is one of seven Americans in this field, most among the four qualifiers. That group includes recent Duke grad Luke Sample, club pro Brad Marek and LIV's Peter Uihlein. • Uihlein is one of XX LIV members in this field along with Ian Poulter, David Puig, Graeme McDowell and Dean Burmester. WEST LANCASHIRE • Texas senior Tommy Morrison, who won last year's European Amateur and then made the cut at Troon, is among the Americans in this field, along with former Alabama standout Davis Shore. • There is a strong Race to Dubai presence with Finland's Oliver Lindell (54), New Zealand's Kozuma Kobori (73), England's Joe Dean (100) and American Dan Erickson (129) • Former GB&I Walker Cuppers James Ashfield, Jack Bigham, Alex Fitzpatrick, Alex Maguire, Paul McBride and Conor Purcell are in this field. • LIV players at this site are Sam Horsfield, Lucas Herbert, Andy Ogletree and Harold Varner III.

Reed wins four-man playoff to capture first LIV Golf title
WASHINGTON, June 30 — Patrick Reed birdied the first extra hole to win a four-man playoff on Sunday and capture LIV Golf Dallas for his first victory in 41 starts In the Saudi-backed series. Reed, the 2018 Masters champion, led by as many as five strokes early in the final round, squandered his advantage, then won on only the third birdie of the day at the 18th hole at Maridoe Golf Club. 'The biggest thing with relief is to finally win in my home state,' said Reed, who lives near Houston. 'To finally get that done meant a lot. To get my first win here as part of LIV means so much to me.' The 34-year-old American won last November's Hong Kong Open on the Asian Tour for his first title since a 2021 PGA victory at Torrey Pines. Reed, England's Paul Casey, South African Louis Oosthuizen and Japan's Jinichiro Kozuma shared the lead after the regulation 54 holes on six-under 282. Reed opened with a birdie at the first hole, jumped ahead by five after double bogeys by his top rivals, but had five bogeys on the front nine before parring his way through the back nine proved good enough to make a playoff. 'I tried to mess it up,' Reed said. 'After making birdie on the first I seemed to leave every putt short. Just kind of putting pretty tentative.' He missed a birdie putt at 18 in regulation to ensure a playoff. 'Had a good putt there to win on the final hole of regulation, hit a good putt and it doesn't go in there. Leave it short,' Reed said. 'So when I had that down there (to win in the playoff) I thought I left it short too but making a birdie at the last always helps.' Reed composed himself at the turn after losing the lead to his woeful front side. 'I told myself the putts have to start falling. For the most part I thought I hit the ball fine. I had just a lot of missed putts,' he said. Kozuma missed a chance for his first victory outside his homeland. Sharing fifth on 283 were Americans Charles Howell and Harold Varner, England's Tyrrell Hatton and Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin. Spain's Sergio Garcia qualified for the British Open, taking the spot available to a top-five LIV season player not already in the field for next month's major showdown at Portrush. The Crushers, featuring Casey and two-time US Open winner Bryson DeChambeau, won the team title. — AFP

Faltering Reed wins playoff for maiden LIV Golf win
Patrick Reed has overcome final-round stumbles to sink a 10-foot putt for birdie on the first extra hole and win a four-way playoff to land his first LIV Golf victory. The 2018 Masters champion triumphed from Louis Oosthuizen, Paul Casey and Jinichiro Kozuma at LIV Golf Dallas on Sunday - securing his first-ever win in his home state. "I think the biggest relief is finally winning in my home state," Reed said. "They popped that news to me that I haven't won in Texas, so to finally get that done meant a lot. Obviously to get my first win here, part of LIV, meant so much to me." The moment that mattered 🙌 @PReedGolf #LIVGolfDallas @4AcesGC_ — LIV Golf (@livgolf_league) June 30, 2025 A product of San Antonio, Reed went into the final roundat Maridoe Golf Club with a three-shot advantage. He didn't do himself many favours in trying to wrap up the win until that playoff birdie, suffering through five bogeys over his first nine holes on the way to a three-over-par 75. Casey shot an even par 72 while Kozuma and Oosthuizen fired matching four-under 68s as Reed matched them with a six under total. Cameron Smith was the best of the Australians after a closing 68 to tie for 13th, four shots outside the playoff. Marc Leishman (74) was tied 25th while Lucas Herbert (78) tied for 40th and Matt Jones (71) tied 46th. The Aussies' four-man Ripper GC finished tied seventh in the team competiton but a whopping 36 shots behind the Crushers GC of Casey, Bryson DeChambeau, Charles Howell and Anirbhan Lahiri who won by 11 shots at 18 under. THE MOST TEAM WINS IN LIV GOLF HISTORY 😤#LIVGolfDallas @Crushers_GC — LIV Golf (@livgolf_league) June 29, 2025 Reed was glad to have been able to hold his round togther just enough to force the playoff. "I seemed to leave every putt short, and just kind of putting pretty tentative," Reed said. "Today, even though the score was high compared to where it should have been, it was kind of one of those days that when you don't make putts, any little thing that's off is going to cost you. "I told myself that hey, the putts have to start falling." Kozuma and Oosthuizen had actually come all the way back to grab the lead going into the par-4, 528-yard No.18, but each suffered bogeys, opening the door for Reed's heroics. Four players finished a single shot back in a tie for fifth. Charles Howell III (68), Tom McKibbin (69), Harold Varner III (72) and Tyrrell Hatton (72).
