TROON, Scotland — Dan Brown's mates have been partying this week as the unheralded Englishman dared to challenge for the British Open title. He might finally join them in a drink Sunday after finishing his debut major tournament in a tie for 10th place at Royal Troon. The 29-year-old Brown's performance also earned him qualification to next year's Open, at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland, and a paycheck of $317,534. He shot a 3-over 74 with five bogeys on the front nine. He finished on even par, nine shots behind champion Xander Schauffele. On Sunday, he was paired with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
