Australia's Aaron Townsend, Ashley Hall and Nicholas Cullen qualified for the The Open by securing the three places up for grabs at Australasian qualifying on a blustery day at Melbourne's Kingston Heath golf course.
Townsend (pictured) had a round of two-under 70 which gave him a four-under total of 140 to finish top of qualifying after two rounds following severe winds that forced play to be suspended for two hours.
Hall and Cullen were joined in a three-way play-off with local veteran Peter Senior, 52, to decide the two remaining spots after each finished on a total of one-over par.
Senior, bidding for his 19th appearance at the British major at Royal Lytham & St Annes, made par at the first extra play-off hole but missed out when both Hall and Cullen made birdies.
