Sergio Garcia was the star attraction at West Lancs in Final Qualifying but wasn't able to claim one on the five spots up for grabs to miss out on The Open for the first time since 1997.
The Spaniard, who finished 2nd to Padraig Harrington in 2007 at Carnoustie, shot a 36-hole total of six-under par to come up three shy of the qualification spots. The LIV Golfer shot rounds of 67 and 71 to miss out, with his fellow LIV player and Ryder Cupper Graeme McDowell also not advancing at four-under.
