Guido Migliozzi

Played the first major of his life at the 2021 US Open, coming a spectacular joint fourth, and then made his Open Championship debut at Royal St George's the same summer.

Is back now for his fourth appearance after capturing his fourth DP World Tour crown at the KLM Open in the Netherlands on June 23.

Two Royal Troon spots were on the line as part of The Open Qualifying Series and Migliozzi beat Joe Dean and Marcus Kinhult at the second hole of a play-off.

A graduate of the circuit’s Qualifying School in 2018, he lifted two titles the following season.

First came the Magical Kenya Open and then the Belgian Knockout, which catapulted him from 203rd on the world rankings into the top 100.

After a much quieter 2020 – the global pandemic, which hit Italy particularly hard in the early stages, meant he did not play for 20 weeks of it – he triumphed again at the 2022 Cazoo French Open, his approach over water to set up a closing birdie one of the shots of the golfing year.
