The British Open (a.k.a. The Open Championship) is one of my
favorite major golf tournaments. There
it is. I said it. Sure, I love The Master’s and The U.S. Open
as much as the next red-blooded American, but The British Open is unique. Not only because of the types of courses the
tournament is played on (links) but because of the conditions (rain, wind) and
the trophy that is awarded to the winner (Claret Jug). My only complaint is the time difference and
how/when it is broadcasted- do you know how hard it is to watch The British
Open and work at the same time? But I
digress…
