Now walking pain-free again, Marco Penge among The Open final qualifiers
Marco Penge wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to walk pain-free again. Now, he will be walking down the fairways at the Old Course at St. Andrews.
The 24-year-old Englishman was among the 16 players who punched their Open Championship tickets via final qualifying at four different sites on Tuesday. He shot 72-72 at Hollinwell to earn the fourth and final spot out of that qualifier.
Penge was once projected as a future superstar and won on the EuroPro Tour in 2019, but injuries have kept him from fulfilling his potential. He underwent right-knee surgery last October and didn’t return until late March.
