2010 BRITISH OPEN
The 139th Open Championship

JULY 15th – 18th, 2010

ST. ANDREWS OLD COURSE
ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND

 

 

Golf has been played over the linksland at St. Andrews for well over half a millennium, and while new tees have been built, the Old Course remains essentially unchanged from the days of Old Tom Morris in the mid-to-late 19th century. The double fairways, double greens, and natural bunkering combine to produce a set of strategic demands on the golfer which are unmatched and utterly unique.

In the course of its 27 Opens, St. Andrews has had a habit of throwing up winners who are the best of their generation. Tiger Woods, for example, produced performances in 2000 and 2005 that left him comfortably clear of the field, with victories by eight and five shots respectively. During that 2000 Open, the scoring record that Woods broke with his 19-under-par total had been the mark set by Nick Faldo ten years previously, when at the height of his powers the Englishman shot 18 under par to win by five.

The list of big name winners goes on: Seve Ballesteros who won at the Home of Golf in 1984; Jack Nicklaus lifted the Claret Jug here twice, in 1970 and 1978; Peter Thomson and Bobby Locke won St. Andrews Opens in the 1950's; and Bobby Jones created such an impression on St. Andrews during his 1927 win that it proved to be the beginning of a lifelong connection with the 'Auld Grey Toon'.

St. Andrews creates history and special memories. Remember Jack Nicklaus waving farewell to golf from the Swilken Bridge in 2005, bringing down the curtain on the greatest career in golf history at the venue where he won two of his three Opens.

Join us in St. Andrews and Walker Sports Marketing will help you create your special memories.
