The 16th Hole is a 558 yard par 5 is a far more challenging and dramatic hole to complete what they believe
will be a great Open.
Featuring out of bounds all the way down the right, it invites a death or glory
second shot.
|
The Open has been the third tournament of the PGA TOUR's Grand Slam of golf for decades, although the PGA TOUR
did not recognize it as one of its official events until 1995. The PGA European Tour has always recognized The
Open as an official event.
Last year's British Open was won Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods played a strong final round and waled away with the
134th British Open title. It was Tiger's second major this year and his 10th overall. The victory brought him
closer to the 18 majors won by the great Jack Nicklaus. Woods won his first career Grand Slam at the Old Course
in 2000. He shot a round of 19 under and won by eight strokes.
Future Venues
2007 July 19-22 Championship Course, Carnoustie, Angus.
The course is located on the south side of Carnoustie, between the railway and the shore of the river Tay
estuary, 12 miles to the east of Dundee. Renowned as the toughest of the courses used for The Open,
expatriate Scot Tommy Armour was the winner when the Championship was first played here in 1931. He has
been followed by a succession of famous champions - Henry Cotton, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Tom Watson, and
finally by fellow Scot Paul Lawrie in 1999 when Carnoustie rejoined the rota of Open courses after a gap of 24 years.
