ST ANDREWS, Scotland (Reuters) - Tom Gillis departed the British Open $15,000 (9,608 pound) lighter the day after his 47th birthday on Friday having enjoyed a short "vacation" from his day-job as the classic golf journeyman.

A Tour pro since 1990, three years before new American sensation Jordan Spieth was born, Gillis qualified for only the fifth major of his career last weekend when losing out to Spieth in a playoff at the John Deere Classic.
