Summary
Former truck driver Joe Dean just snagged his last ticket to The Open with a stunning two-under 68 in the brand-new Last Chance Qualifier at Royal Birkdale — beating out a field of 12, including recent winner Aldrich Potgieter, who missed a clutch birdie on the final hole. Dean, who’d missed qualifying the traditional way and spent time driving a delivery truck, now joins the elite at Southport for his third Open appearance — and he even made the cut here back in 2017. With Potgieter as the first alternate and Matti Schmid second, the drama’s far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
