The Open: Former Premier League stars Jimmy Bullard, Peter Odemwingie miss out in Regional Qualifying as YouTuber Peter Finch progresses | Golf News
The former Premier League footballers, Jimmy Bullard and Peter Odemwingie, failed in their offers to play outdoors next month after the two did not progress by regional qualifications.
About 2,000 players contributed approximately 15 sites – through the United Kingdom and Ireland – Monday, each 18 -hole event offering between seven and 10 qualifying places for final qualifications on July 1.
Bullard is a scratch golfer who played alongside the players of the Legend Tour in the Costa Navarino Legends Tour in Greece this month, but failed after three out of 74 in Rochester & Cobham Park.
Odemwingie qualified as a PGA professional golfer since his retirement from football in 2019 and has also not progressed, by carding a 10 against 72 in Enville, while the former cricket player of Somerset Peter Tree has missed a little more progression after a level 72 at Frilford Heath.
The hopes of former footballers of a major point have been interrupted
Bullard Double Bogey has its opening hole of the day and canceled a stepd in the third per-pen, leaving a shot in the sixth by four, with another double bogey in the first eighth to reach the Tour in 40.
An improved new rear saw Bullard mixes three birdies with two Bogeys, although finished four shots on the score required to progress to the final next week.
Odemwingie sorted out the part first to send, but carded four Bogeys and a double bogey in a section of five holes in the third, seeing him at a 41 pre-nine, without any sign of improvement after the Tour.
The former striker followed a bogey in the tenth by five with a double bogey in the 13th by four, Odemwingie dropping three shots in two holes from the 15th before ending a disappointing tour with another Bogey.
Sam Westwood – The son of the former n ° 1 of the world Lee Westwood – failed Lindrick after a six against 76, while the Youtube Golfer Peter Finch succeeded with an impressive 71 -mine in windy conditions in Caldy.
The former winner of the Ryder Cup, Jamie Donaldson, and the quadruple world world champion DP, Marc Warren, both succeeded in Kilmarnock (Barassie), with Bearwood Lakes, Craielaw, Ferndown, Fulford, Gog Magog, Hesketh, Moor Park, North Hants and the island used.
