Sergio Garcia, who lifted the Claret Jug at Royal Birkdale in 2017, spoke of his frustration after failing to qualify for the 150th Open at St Andrews. The Spaniard, who made a late decision to try to qualify, carded a 5-over-par 76 at Renaissance Club in North Berwick on Tuesday. Only the top four finishers qualified for the Open, with Garcia finishing nine shots adrift of leader Adri Arnaus. Garcia insisted the qualifying process, which meant he arrived at the course having only practiced on the putting green beforehand, was “not right” and he felt “rushed.”
