(Reuters) - Scotland's Colin Montgomerie will play at the British Open for the first time in six years after coming through final qualifying on Tuesday to claim a place in next month's championship at Royal Troon.

The 53-year-old shot a five-under-par aggregate after 36 holes at Gailes Links to take the final spot after an agonising two-hour wait as he qualified with Swede Oskar Arvidsson, ranked a lowly 1,418, and 23-year-old Spaniard Scott Fernandez.
