Johnny Keefer, a 25-year-old San Antonio native, is set to compete in the British Open, his fourth major of the rookie season. Keefer, a Johnson High School product, will play in all four majors as a PGA Tour rookie.
Path to the British Open
Keefer’s path to the British Open was not an easy one. He had to qualify for the tournament through the Scottish Open, where he finished with a top-three finish. His lone top 40 finish came at the most recent major, the U.S. Open.
Keefer is appreciative of another opportunity to live out his dream — playing against the best on the world stage. “It means a lot,” Keefer said. “I played the first three Majors and going into this week, I wasn’t in The Open. Not only a great result but also getting into The Open is just tons of fun.”
The 154th Open Championship tees off at 7:42 a.m. CT alongside Pierceson Coody and Keita Nakajima.
