The only Argentinian in the Open field emulated his hero after sinking a 40-foot putt on the last, but there was no major repeat of recent crowd trouble

Pulcini, the only Argentinian in the field at Royal Birkdale, sunk a 40-footer on the final hole and, despite his celebration, received huge cheers from the grandstand.

The Argentinian rolled in from distance at the 18th to sign for a five-over-par 75 with a birdie.
