Glasgow-born Alan McLean has qualified for this week’s Senior Open Presented by Rolex at Gleneagles. McLean, who is based in Canada, finished second behind American Mark Brown at Glenbervie in one of four 18-hole qualifiers for the over-50s major, which is being played at the Perthshire venue for the first time.
Helped by five birdies, McLean carded a four-under-par 67, finishing three behind Brown, who birdied five of the last seven holes.
Welshman Garry Houston won by two shots at Ladybank with a four-under-par 67, with Irishman Sean Fitzgerald his closest challenger.
Rob Maxfield, the PGA chief executive, also passed that test along with two other amateurs, Rusty Strawn and James Crompton, as they all carded 70s.
