thanks so much amen well the John Deere classic for years has represented one of the final playing opportunities for players to earn a spot in the field at the Open Championship and the John Deere classic again a part of that open qualifying series uh again this year the top two finishers here this week who are not already exempt into the field will earn a spot at Royal TR now this week’s tour stop is one of the last few remaining Avenues to get into the field at the Open Championship also happening today final qualifying at four sites uh 16 spots are available at these F final qualifying sites today the BMW International open another final opportunity for players to get into the last major championship of the season in addition to next week’s Genesis Scottish open now this morning I spoke with several players here at TPC Deer Run who are hoping to get into the field at Royal trun including Neil Shipley who finished low Amer at both the Masters and US Open but has since turned professional and is now trying to qualify for the open this week um you know definitely know about it um just trying to come out here and have a good week and if that happens awesome if not um I’m not supposed to be there anyway so uh just uh it’s a cool opportunity and uh excited to hopefully maybe make it happen it is for sure um I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t um no I I played my first major at the US Open um I’d love to get in another another one uh I was an alternate for the PGA so I was there that week as well um didn’t get arrested that week but you know it’s just kind of is what it is but um totally kidding um uh but uh no it’s just I’m I’m really trying to up my status and play in as many big events as I can and obviously the majors are as big as they get so trying to get in as as many as I can so yeah I mean it’s definitely on my radar but um at the end of the day just try to go execute golf shots and um just put myself in the best position on Sunday to to try and play well and you know do something great what would it mean to you to be able to get into that field and compete at Royal trune yeah it’d be awesome um you know the history of the open being able to play in Another major this year it would be awesome and uh it was one of my goals this year to to play in the majors and um got in the US Open but uh yeah it’d be awesome to play in another one uh not much I just pretty much have uh kind of set the schedule over these next five weeks if I get the open great um still got a lot of YouTube stuff that we uh need to pull off and I’ll be honest if if I do end up getting in it it could throw a wrench in some spokes of of things other things that I want to do on the YouTube side so um if I get in great uh we’ll I guess we’ll just cross that bridge when it comes will you do some YouTube stuff around the open instead if you’re not in the field uh I don’t know we’d have to have to get the whole squad over there somehow we I mean we’ll see probably maybe maybe not though I don’t know it’s it’s hard to it’s hard to say I’m just taking it day by day just seeing the where things go and which way the wind blows me but right now um a lot of my focus is on the YouTube side I’ve really enjoyed it getting to hang out and play golf with my brother and some of my Best Buds and act like an idiot on the golf course is is kind of my happy place um I like a lot of guys out here but the vast majority aren’t willing to have as much fun as I want to have so um yeah I’m I’m just getting a little older got a lot of kids being at home has a little value to me at this point so I don’t know we we’ll just we’ll see again wherever the wind blows me I’ll I’ll probably end up now one last note on Shipley he tells me he was not already exempt into the field as an amiter into the Open Championship you know sometimes we’ve seen players in years past as amers already uh able to play in the field and so they’ put off turning professionals so they can take advantage of those opportunities but that was not uh the case for Shipley now last year here at the John Deere classic sep straa was not exempt into the field at the Open Championship he fired a final round 62 here to win the John Deere classic to get into the field at Royal Liverpool he went on to finish in a tie for second so very much a possibility for the players here competing here this week at TPC de run
