Sergio Garcia to miss Open Championship for first time since 1997 after failing to qualify - 'It's a shame'
Sergio Garcia will miss the Open Championship after failing to come through qualifying, having taken part in every tournament since 1997. This year’s tournament takes place at Royal Liverpool for the first time since 2014, where Garcia was runner-up behind Rory McIlroy. Ad He competed in this year’s qualifying for one of five remaining spots at a 36-hole event at West Lancashire, but he opened with a score of 67 and then 71, which was not enough to make the cut.
