The leading three players not already exempt who make the cut in the Betfred British Masters hosted by Nick Faldo will earn places in The 151st Open at Royal Liverpool from July 20-23.

That means Holywood’s Tom McKibbin and Kinsale’s John Murphy could potentially book their place for a Major debut should either player catch fire at The Belfry, though both were over-par early on Thursday.
