Sergio Garcia has been a staple at the Open Championship since 1997. That streak will end this year as the LIV Golf member failed to qualify.
The Spaniard played the par-72 6,973-yard West Lancashire and posted rounds of 67-71, good enough for 6 under and a T-6 finish.
However, there were just five spots up for grabs at West Lancashire and those will go to Matt Wallace (1st, 11 under), Matthew Jordan (T-2, 10 under), Kyle Barker (T-2, 10 under), Alex Fitzpatrick (T-4, 9 under) and Tiger Christensen (T-4, 9 under).
Since 1998, Garcia has made 24 starts at the Open, missing just four cuts and totaling 12 top-20 finishes, 10 of which were top 10s. His career-best finish came at Carnoustie in 2007 where he earned the silver medal.
Garcia played in two of the three major championships so far this season, missing the cut at the Masters and tying for 27th at the U.S. Open.
