My LAST EVER Open Qualifying?

Rick Shiels heads to Caldy Golf Club to take on regional Open Qualifying, the first step on the long road to The Open Championship. This is the real deal: one round, a tough field of aspiring professionals and amateurs, and only a handful of spots up for grabs to progress to Final Qualifying. Can Rick handle the nerves and post a score good enough to keep the Open dream alive?
