Designed by The PPL Group 3 Introduction Following the endeavours of Peter Lewis and his team to carry on where Peter Ryde left off and bring the results of R&A-run championships up to date, it behoves us to continue to make available the results of each year’s championships for present and future generations. The 2015 supplement takes the same format as the 1984-2012 bound volume in the way that results are presented. All R&A championships played in 2015 are included. The Junior Open and St Andrews Trophy were not played in 2015 owing to their biennial staging. The 1984-2012 volume includes a chapter on players’ records from international matches, providing year-by-year results for each player who participated in the Walker Cup, the St Andrews Trophy, the Youths’ International Match for the European Golf Association Trophy and the Jacques Leglise Trophy. In the supplement, records are included only for those players who competed in 2015. If they competed in a previous year, this record is included, but the full complement of records dating back to 1984 has not been included. The same approach is applied to the Statistical Summary, which relates only to team events contested in 2015, in this case, the Walker Cup and Jacques Leglise Trophy.
