Age proved to be nothing more than a number at the SMBC Singapore Open, as a 17-year-old and a 50-year-old were among four golfers to qualify for the 146th Open at Royal Birkdale.
The tournament, co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Tour, was won by 50-year-old Prayad Marksaeng, who shot a final-round 67 to lift the trophy. He'll be making his sixth career Open appearance, but first since missing the cut at Royal Lytham in 2012.
"I'm so happy," said Marksaeng, who will also play in the Senior Open at Royal Porthcawl this summer.
