A T-35 finish at the Travelers Championship proved to be just enough to punch Ryan Palmer's ticket to Royal Portrush.
The top 20 in FedExCup points after Travelers earned exemptions into The Open next month in Northern Ireland if they were not already exempt. That group included Palmer, who hung onto the 20th spot and has now accrued 998 points this season - just 13 more than reigning Open champ Francesco Molinari. Palmer teamed with Jon Rahm to win the Zurich Classic in April, and now he'll make his second Open appearance in the last three years.
While five slots were set aside for top-20 players to qualify, 17 of the top 20 were already exempt for the season's final major.
