  Just read this in the News section...

  Potter won his first Tour event over fellow Web.com Tour traveler Troy Kelly and, in the bargain, both Potter and Kelly made it into the Open Championship at Royal Lytham and St. Annes next week.

  Got to ask, do they have their passports yet?  There was someone a few years ago who hadn't, but got it within the week.  Not sure he'd be able to do that here in the UK - the passport office work at snails pace!

  I'm sure they have ways to rush it Mio...I know here in the US, many companies have fast tracks for passports.

  I received mine in 3 or 4 days for a rush trip overseas. 

  I'm sure similar things occur in the UK.

  I know our administration issues auxiliary passports within days or hours, alas they won't be accepted by US customs (as an example) :(

  The process can be rushed along if you are willing to pay for it and I'm sure that both players are anxious to get into the Open and will do so.

  I'm sure they will get priority treatment, other than us.
