Poston books spot at The Open with John Deere Classic win

JT Poston secured himself a debut in The Open later this month at St Andrews after completing a wire-to-wire victory at the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic.

Poston never relinquished his lead on the final day at TPC Deere Run, posting a two-under 69 to end the week on 21 under and claim a second PGA Tour title.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Emiliano Grillo finished three strokes back in a share of second, with the top three all securing spots in the final men's major of the year via the Open Qualifying Series.

"I've always wanted to play in one of those at any of the venues, but for my first one to be at St Andrews and for the 150th - I can't wait there and can't wait to see what it's like!" Poston said.

Poston took a three-shot lead into the final day and pulled further clear when he followed back-to-back birdies over his first two holes by holing a 25-footer from the fringe at the par-four next.
