With more than a $1.08 million check as a consolation prize for his runner-up finish at The Players Championship, Kevin Chappell no longer has to worry about U.S. Open qualifying and can book his first trip to the British Open.
This is the last week of competition before the U.S. Open exempts the top 60 in the world ranking and the British Open takes the top 50. The U.S. Open also will give a tee time to anyone in the top 60 the week of the U.S. Open.
Chappell improved to No. 33.
