Amateur golfer Richard Teder, aged 20, made history by becoming the first player from Estonia to qualify for The Open Championship at Royal Portrush. During the final qualifying round, Teder double-bogeyed the last hole, which forced him into a playoff for the final spot in the tournament. On the third playoff hole, he holed out for an eagle from the fairway after a 340-yard drive, securing his place in the field. Despite a rules dispute during the playoff, Teder's remarkable chip-in eagle on his 39th hole of the day earned him entry into the prestigious event. His achievement marks a milestone for Estonian golf and adds a compelling storyline to the upcoming Open Championship, where he will compete alongside top players such as Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler.
