Corey Conners secured a sixth successive appearance at The Open by claiming the sole qualifying place on offer in the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.
A final-round 71, which featured 17 pars and a crucial birdie on the 16th, saw Canada's Conners finish third in the PGA TOUR event at Bay Hill, part of The Open Qualifying Series.
That was ultimately enough to book a return to The Open - and the scene of his Championship debut in 2019 - as tournament winner Russell Henley and runner-up Collin Morikawa were already exempt.
Conners will now aim to improve on his best Open finish to date, a T15 finish at Royal St George's in 2021.
