Meanwhile, Jamieson finished on five over (5+) after scoring 76 and then a 73 in his two rounds.
There were three places atThe Open at Royal Birkdale available for the top three players in the top ten who were not already exempt.
Callum Shinkwin claimed one of them, with the other two going to Matthieu Pavon and Andrew Dodt.
