The Scottish Open also offered invitations to J.B. Holmes and Jamie Lovemark, while Phil Mickelson also is playing. AKRON, Ohio (AP) " Steve Stricker qualified for the British Open and wasn't sure if he was going to play in a major he had skipped since 2013. It will be his first time at the Scottish Open since 1995 when it was at Carnoustie. He wasn't planning on two weeks in Scotland until deadly flooding in West Virginia led to the cancellation of The Greenbrier Classic. Stricker said early Saturday he would play the Scottish Open next week at Castle Stuart in Inverness before going down to Royal Troon for what could be his final appearance in golf's oldest championship.
