2009 British Open
Turnberry
The oldest of the four major championships, the Open Championship
(aka the British Open), provides the perfect compliment to a
golf vacation to Scotland, Ireland, England or Wales. Through
the years there have been many memorable duels over Britain's
famous links—none more so than the Nicklaus v Watson battle
at Turnberry in 1977.
 The Open will return to Turnberry in 2009
for the first time since 1994. Who can forget what happened there
last time with the memorable 50 foot putt by Nick Price on the
17th green, which left him only needing a par on the last to
win. The course has had a great history of hosting the Open Championship
with such distinguished past champions as Tom Watson and Greg
Norman. Turnberry’s Ailsa course is famous for one of the
greatest head-to-head showcases for golf in the game’s
history, where Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson went blow for blow
in the ‘Duel in the Sun’ until Watson finished one
shot clear of Nicklaus. Why not see the next great chapter in
golf history for yourself by attending the 2009 British Open
Championship?
