Three players secure last-minute spots in The Open through Genesis Scottish Open

Johnny Keefer, Michael Thorbjornsen and Victor Perez have secured the final qualifying places available through the Genesis Scottish Open for next week's 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

Keefer claimed the highest available qualifying spot after finishing tied for third on 13-under-par at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick. 

Thorbjornsen followed on 12-under par, while Perez claimed the final available berth after ending the week tied for ninth on 11-under par. 

Keefer and Thorbjornsen will be making their Open Championship debuts at Royal Birkdale.

Perez will be making his fifth appearance in golf's oldest major. 

Tom Kim won the Genesis Scottish Open. 

The South Korean finished the week on 17-under-par, two shots ahead of Min Woo Lee in second.

The Open field is now almost complete, with just one place still available through Monday's Last-Chance Qualifier at Royal Birkdale.

Marcus Helligkilde has withdrawn from the 12-man shootout, with amateur Frazer Jones taking his place in the field.

The winner of Monday's qualifier will secure the final spot in the 156-player field for The Open, which gets underway at famed Royal Birkdale in England on Thursday. 

Play in the Last-Chance Qualifier is scheduled to begin at 7:30am BST, with just one coveted place on offer.
