The Scottish contingent at the Open has risen to 10.
Martin Laird is the latest home player to qualify through the world rankings an entry door that also opened up to fellow countryman Marc Warren at the weekend.
There were 10 people in total who secured exemptions, among them Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn, who has qualified via his position in the Race to Dubai.
Warren will make his Open debut as his joint-second at the BMW PGA Championship in May meant he was high enough up the rankings to earn a place.
Three other European Tour players South African Richard Sterne, Australian Brett Rumford and Swede Mikko Ilonen also clinched their spots the same way.
Joining them will be five PGA Tour counterparts who made the grade via their places in the FedEx Cup rankings.
Florida’s Billy Horschel will make his debut as will 34-year-old Jimmy Walker, courtesy of his runners-up spot at the Greenbrier Classic, and Sony Open winner Russell Henley.
Former Ryder Cup player and crowd favourite Boo Weekley returns to the Open after finished tied-13th in 2009.
Ex-United States Walker Cup player Harris English will also play at Muirfield, having finished joint 54th at Royal Lytham and St Annes last year.
Swedish duo Jonas Blixt and Fredrik Jacobsen, Laird, Australian Marc Leishman, Canada’s Graham DeLaet, American pair Kyle Stanley and Ken Duke and England’s Chris Wood have all been handed spots.
First reserve was another Scot, Stephen Gallacher, who missed out on qualifying by right on Sunday by just £754 but was given his chance when Jon Daly confirmed he would be missing to undergo an operation.
