Bud Cauley aims for Open Championship spot at Travelers Championship
Summary

Bud Cauley seeks to qualify for the Open Championship by performing well at the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands. He stands at No. 30 in the FedEx Cup standings, needing to break into the top five to secure an exemption. Currently, the exemption could go unused as all players ranked in the top 29 are already exempt due to their standings. This would mark the third time in five years that this exemption category remains unclaimed. Meanwhile, Dustin Johnson has entered regional qualifying for the Open Championship after losing his exemptions from past victories.
