Dan Bradbury, Sami Välimäki and Christian Bezuidenhout have all qualified for The 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool after earning their places at the Joburg Open.
The trio were the leading three players in the season-opening event on the DP World Tour at Houghton Golf Club as The Open Qualifying Series got under way in South Africa.
Bradbury, who turned professional in the summer, claimed a dream wire-to-wire victory to win his maiden DP World Tour title in only his third start and earn a two-year exemption.
The 23-year-old Englishman finished at 21-under-par and three shots clear of runner-up Finn Välimäki, who like Bradbury will make his debut at The Open next summer.
Three-time DP World Tour winner Bezuidenhout took the final qualifying place thanks to his higher position in the Official World Golf Ranking after finishing in a tie for third place on 17-under-par with fellow South African Daniel Van Tonder.
The Open Qualifying Series continues at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open at Victoria and Kingston Heath from December 1-4.
The 151st Open will be held from July 20-23 2023.
