Mansell equalled the course record in the Genesis Scottish Open to book his place at the 152nd Open Championship.
England's Richard Mansell was one over par after two holes of his final round at the Renaissance Club, but then made four birdies on the front nine and six more in a back nine of 29 to return a superb 61, matching the mark set by Ben An last year. That took Mansell to 13 under par and ensured he claimed the final one of the three places available at Royal Troon behind compatriot Aaron Rai and Sweden's Alex Noren.
He was like, well, it's got 65 all over it. I said, how about 61 and I birdied the last to shoot 61. 'It's just made me realise even more that this game is just insane and you're never as far away as you think you are. I'm hoping that can kind of kick-start my season now and it's brilliant to get into The Open.
