Casey Jarvis

Casey Jarvis won back-to-back on the DP World Tour, with the second of those victories bringing with it a place at The 154th Open.

He won the Investec South African Open Championship, where three places were available as part of the Open Qualifying Series (OQS). The South African finished three strokes clear at the top of the leaderboard after a hugely impressive week at Stellenbosch Golf Club.

This came just one week after he won the Magical Kenya Open, also by three shots - his first triumph on the Tour.

Jarvis joined the Sunshine Tour after turning professional as a teenager in August 2022, and he went on to win the Rookie of the Year award.

The following year he equalled the Tour's lowest round with a 59 at the 2023 Stella Artois Players Championship.

His victory at Stellenbosch also secured an invitation to The Masters, however Royal Birkdale will represent his first appearance at The Open.
