The Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex at Carnoustie marks this year's fifth and final Major Championship for players aged 50 and over.
A week on from The 152nd Open at Royal Troon, legends of the game are in Scotland as the historic Angus links plays host to the Senior Open for the third time and first in eight years.
Qualifying took place across Downfield Golf Club in Dundee, Panmure Golf Club in Carnoustie, the Medal Course at Monifieth Golf Links and 1562 course at Montrose Golf Links on Monday providing hundreds of hopefuls a final chance to progress, with 24 players securing their spots into the field for the championship's 38th edition.
Alex Čejka is the defending champion after he defeated Pádraig Harrington in a play-off to win the title last year at Royal Porthcawl in the pouring rain.
There are 17 different exemption categories available to qualify for The Senior Open, the third Major of the Legends Tour season, followed by the 24 spots that were made available via Qualifying events held across the four Scottish courses and at Firestone Country Club, Akron, Ohio earlier in July.
