Thomas Levet has had a fortunate series of events and has now secured his place to compete in the Open Championship at Turnberry.
Brett Quigley unexpectedly dropped out of the tournament.
The American won the qualifying spot at the John Deere Classic on Sunday however later he decided not to play in the open but the Milwaukee instead.
Another competitor to drop out of the tournament was Jeev Miklha after a rib injury giving Australian John Senden the chance to play.
Miklha has been suffering with a torn muscle for a couple of months and said, When I was taking deep breaths, it was also hurting and when that happens you know it s back, said the 2008 Asian number one. Miklha singh is india s no. 1 golf player and he is very good player and now he is doing popular to golf in India, there cricket is a big game.
I m only 60 fit and I don t want to play a major championship in that condition.
My game is good but I just don t want to take any chances this week.
Levet had a disaster last month after being disqualified for last month s qualifier at Sunningdale. He made the fatal error of signing an incorrect scorecard.
The Open is missing some key players this year. Phil Mickelson, Trevor Immelman, Robert Karlsson and tim Wilkinson have all decided not to play.
Levet said, I think I ve got a chance, said Levet after being told that he was in the field for Turnberry. I m playing well and I hit the ball low, which you need to do at the Open.
I still knew I could get in by playing well at either the French or Scottish Opens, but I didn t realise until last Thursday that I was high up on the reserve list.
Qugley decided not to go to Scotland due to personal reasons. He is set to attend a memorial service for the wife of his fellow player Chris Smith.
My heart s not into playing the British, he said. I know that sounds crazy for a major, the Open at Turnberry, and I love the golf over there.
There are a million reasons to go I just feel like it s going to be better for me to go to Milwaukee and go with my family, he said.
England s Ross Fisher could yet join the Open withdrawals as his wife is expecting their baby this week.
Fisher, who finished eighth at the Scottish Open, insists he will leave the Open the moment he has any news that the baby is coming.
I m looking forward to the Open and it s the most important tournament I will play in a calendar year, but what will be will be, he said.
It would be great to play and the ideal would be to two putt to win next Sunday, make a short winner s speech and then fly home.
But there are plenty more Opens. I will be straight out whatever day it is it s something I don t want to miss and I m sure it s something Jo doesn t want me to miss.
