EX-MORRISONS DRIVER QUALIFIES FOR THE OPEN AFTER WINNING QUALIFIER

Joe Dean, a former delivery driver for Morrisons, has qualified for The Open after winning the Last-Chance Qualifier at Royal Birkdale. Dean secured a late place in golf's oldest major championship through his victory in the qualifying event. His fiancée will serve as his caddie during the tournament.

Dean has postponed final wedding preparations to compete in The Open. The Last-Chance Qualifier at Royal Birkdale represents the final opportunity for golfers to secure a place in the championship. Dean's qualification came through direct victory in this high-pressure event rather than through the standard qualification pathways.

The Open championship will now feature Dean amongst its field of competitors. His progression from working as a delivery driver to competing in a major championship marks a significant development in his golfing career. Dean will have his fiancée's support throughout the tournament in his caddie role.
