Keith Mitchell

Mitchell returns to The Open for the first time since 2022 having recorded his best major finish to date at the recent US Open.

A tie for fourth at Shinnecock Hills was achieved in notable fashion, with Mitchell recording level-par 70s in all four rounds. That was particularly notable given he shot 41 for his first nine holes of the tournament before coming home in a sensational 29 strokes.

Mitchell's sole PGA TOUR title to date came at the 2019 Honda Classic when a 15-foot birdie putt at the last saw him triumph by one from Brooks Koepka and Rickie Fowler.

After making his Open debut at Royal Portrush later that year, he also featured in the next two editions of golf's original championship.

At the age of 12 Mitchell was in the crowd at the 2004 Championship at Royal Troon when Todd Hamilton won. “Darren Clarke gave me his glove – I’ll never forget that.”
