Thanks to a typically gutsy closing 71 at Royal Troon, Catlin claimed a hard-earned tied-16th place finish in the 152nd Open.
His Open Championship debut may not have ended in the blaze of glory he had wished for, but Andy Ogletree will not forget the experience in a hurry.
By the time Catlin had signed his scorecard, the skies had darkened menacingly and light rain was turning into unpleasant, relentless drizzle.
As his 11-foot par putt on Royal Troon’s 18th green disappeared below ground, Andy Ogletree’s relief was obvious.
Missing the cut can be a devastating blow to a professional golfer. But, as Michael Hendry can attest, it’s far from the be-all and end-all.
