The Final Rounds of the 1947 Open Championship Were Played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake
The Final rounds of the 1947 Open Championship were played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake. Northern Ireland's Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open Championship, one stroke ahead of runners-up Reg Horne and amateur Frank Stranahan. It was Daly's only major title. Henry Cotton and Laurie Ayton, Jnr shared the first round lead, but in the second round both fell back with rounds of 78 and 80, respectively. After 36 holes Daly owned a four-shot lead over Cotton. Daly had a poor third round, shooting 78 to fall into a tie for the lead with Cotton, Arthur Lees, and Norman Von Nida. There were a further nine players within three-strokes of the lead. Horne, who began two back, made the first move with a 35 on the front-nine. He took a pair of 5s at the 16th and 17th holes, however, and at the 18th his putt for a 3 lipped out. He finished with a 294 total. Daly began the round with a 38 on the front, but he recovered on the back and holed a birdie putt on the 18th to post 293. Cotton made the turn in 36 and needed a 35 on the back to tie Daly, but in the blustery wind this proved too difficult and he finished at 297. That left Stranahan as the last player on the course able to tie Daly. He reached the 17th needing to play the final two holes in 7, but a three-putt led to a 5 and saw him needing an improbable 2 on the last.

Get Into Unfavorable Posi- the Governing Bodies of Golf Have Not Remained Tions, Even Into the Bunkers
Journal of Sports Analytics 3 (2017) 55–66 55 DOI 10.3233/JSA-160028 IOS Press A ‘New’ Old Course? An Assessment of the Effects of Alterations to the Old Course at St. Andrews on the 2015 Open Championship Charles E. Gaudet∗ Department of Psychology, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI, USA Abstract. The Old Course at St. Andrews Links is one of the world’s most revered golf courses and the Open Championship is the oldest major championship in professional golf. In 2015 the Old Course hosted the Open Championship. Beforehand, several of the course’s holes were altered in an attempt to maintain its difﬁculty and counteract the rapid advances in professional golfers’ skills and equipment. This study assessed the effects of the alterations to the Old Course in two ways. The aggregate performance statistics for the 2005, 2010, and 2015 Open Championship tournaments, all hosted at the Old Course, were compared. Scoring on the altered holes was compared across the 2010 and 2015 tournaments, as were the differences between the altered and unaltered holes. The analyses took into account the weather conditions. Players’ overall scores improved between the 2010 and 2015 tournaments, but not between the 2005 and 2010 tournaments. Players’ scores only differed between the 2010 and 2015 tournaments for two of the altered holes, indicating that the changes had a negligible overall effect. Strategic factors that might account for the observed differences and the implications of the analysis for efforts to alter courses to maintain difﬁculty are discussed. Keywords: Golf, St. Andrews, Open Championship, course alterations 1.

O'meara Relishing Royal Birkdale Return
For Immediate release Tuesday March 12, 2013 O’Meara relishing Royal Birkdale return Mark O’Meara will return to his favourite links course, and the scene of one of his greatest triumphs, when he joins the cast of Major Champions in the field for The Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex at Royal Birkdale Golf Club, from July 25‐28. The 56 year old American lifted the Claret Jug at the Merseyside links in 1998, defeating compatriot Brian Watts in a play‐off to add a second Major Championship to the Masters Tournament he won earlier that year. He also won the Lawrence Batley International at Royal Birkdale in 1987 to claim his first European Tour title, and shared third place with Fred Couples in The 1991 Open Championship at the venue, finishing three shots back from winner Ian Baker‐Finch and one behind runner‐up Mike Harwood. O’Meara will hope that his fine record at Royal Birkdale continues when he attempts to succeed Couples as Senior Open Champion in July. “I have great memories of Birkdale,” he said. “So many great things have happened to me there ‐ in 1989 holing two seven irons on the back nine to win the Lawrence Batley, holding off Carl Mason and a couple of the other boys, Sam Torrance and Ian Woosnam. “Then in 1991, playing well for three rounds and being in the final pairing with Ian Baker‐Finch, who went on to win The Open that year. “And coming back in 1998 as the Masters Champions and playing well in tough conditions, hanging in there, getting in the play‐off with Brian Watts and going on to win The Open Championship.
