Homa moved from No. 112 to No. 73 in the world ranking after finishing runner-up at the John Deere Classic. That ranking put him into The Open field for Royal Birkdale next week.
Ben Kohles' missed bogey putt from 2 feet, 8 inches changed the finish. If Kohles had made it, Homa would have been No. 84 in the world and likely fifth alternate.
