Brandel Chamblee will be trading in his analyst chair for a tee time this week in Scotland.
One day after Chamblee's work dissecting the 147th Open at Carnoustie ended, the 56-year-old made the short trip to Scotscraig Golf Club in an attempt to qualify for this week's Senior Open. Chamblee had qualified at Scotscraig to make the field for the 1995 Open at St. Andrews, and the course once again proved friendly as he shot a 2-under 69 to share medalist honors and earn one of 24 qualifying spots available across four different qualifying sites.
Chamblee started on the back nine and overcame an opening bogey by playing a five-hole stretch in 5 under highlighted by an eagle on the par-5 14th.
