Truro golfer Rhys Enoch has qualified for the Open Championship at Hoylake later this month after a dramatic play-off win in final qualifying today. 

Rounds of 70 and 68 at Woburn gave the  26-year-old  a six under total and took him into a three man play-off for the third and final qualifying place, along with Australian professional Jack Wilson and  England amateur Tomasz Anderson. 

And on the 402 yard first play off hole former Wales international Enoch chipped in from just over the green to clinch his place at Royal Liverpool when the Championship begins on July 17. 

Enoch had hit two iron off the tee but his nine iron approach was just too long, perhaps due to the adrenaline.

However, he showed great nerve to hole his chip  with a lob wedge and the other pair could not match his birdie three as Enoch went through as only one of three from a field of 72.

And a delighted Enoch tweeted Yessssss! Hoylake bound #theopen #boom
