Ben Taylor, who holed the clinching putt for LSU at the NCAA Championship, was one of 12 players who qualified for the Open Championship on Tuesday.
Taylor, whose par putt on the final green gave LSU a 4-1 victory over Southern Cal on June 3, shot 5-under 137 to share medalist honors at Royal Cinque Ports. The other players to advance out of this qualifier were Gary Boyd and amateur Alister Balcombe.
Two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen was one of the three qualifiers at Woburn, along with amateur Paul Dunne, who recently completed his college career at UAB, and Robert Dinwiddie.
