Stuart Grehan

Stuart Grehan’s memorable triumph at The Amateur Championship brought with it a coveted place at The 154th Open.

The Irishman claimed one of the most prestigious titles in amateur golf when he defeated American Matt Moloney in a thrilling 36-hole final at Royal Liverpool in June. Royal Birkdale will now mark the 33-year-old’s first major appearance.

“I’m going to be buzzing for The Open,” he said after his win. “I’ll love it, I’ll absolutely love it. It hasn’t really sunk in yet.”

Grehan represented Great Britain and Ireland at the Walker Cup in September 2025, making his debut at Cypress Point eight years after a broken arm dashed his hopes of selection for the 2017 match.

After turning professional later that year, Grehan regained his amateur status in 2025.
