Four players qualified for the 145th Open Championship by virtue of their finish Sunday at the Japan Golf Tour’s Mizuno Open.
Kodai Ichihara, Shugo Imahira, Sang-hee Lee and Hideto Tanihara all earned spots at Royal Troon as part of the Open Qualifying Series.
Ichihara, Imahira and Lee all tied for second, one shot behind winner K.T. Kim who had already qualified for the Open by virtue of winning the Japan Golf Tour money list in 2015. Ichihara will be making his second Open appearance, having missed the cut at Royal Lytham in 2012, while Imahira and Lee will each be making their first appearance.
