F. Molinari, Lingmerth among 6 added to Open field

Six more players - Francesco Molinari, David Lingmerth, Matt Jones, Tim Clark, Harris English and Daniel Berger - were added to the Open Championship field Monday.

Per the Associated Press, the invites were extended "when it became clear the Open would not fill all the spots from remaining qualifiers for the 156-man field at St. Andrews."

Molinari is currently ranked 43rd in the world but was outside the top 50 cut-off at the May deadline to qualify via the Official World Golf Ranking. His brother, Eduardo, was already in the field thanks to his top-10 finish at Hoylake last year.
