Overnight – Malmaison Liverpool, Standard Room 20 JULY, THURSDAY GOLF: Today play Royal Lytham & St Annes. Nestling between two busy seaside resorts, it is one of the most unique courses in the rotation of the British Open. It is a links in every sense of the word, with sandy soil and the wind blowing in from the Irish Sea. Open to the elements, the trees on the course permanently lean sideways, with the wind often proving a formidable competitor in the homeward five holes of the course. NON GOLFERS SIGHTSEEING: Enjoy a visit to Liverpool highlighted by a tour of the Anglican Cathedral, the largest in the whole of the United Kingdom and the fifth largest in the world. Find out how it managed to survive two World Wars along with periods of recession and great hardship to become a tribute to the dedication of a great many people and their skills. The foundation stone was laid by King Edward VII in 1904, the completion of the building was marked by a service of thanksgiving and dedication in October 1978, attended by Queen Elizabeth II. The story is an amazing journey reflecting just how important the Cathedral is to the heart and the life of this internationally acclaimed city. Overnight – Malmaison Liverpool, Standard Room 21 JULY, FRIDAY GOLF: Today play Royal Liverpool. Royal Liverpool lies at the very heart of the history and development of golf in Britain. Built in 1869, it is the 2nd oldest of all the English seaside courses. Many of the great events in the history of golf have their origins at Hoylake including the first British Amateur in 1885 and in 1921 a match between the USA & Great Brtain which we now know as the Walker Cup. It was at Hoylake that Bobby Jones won the Open Championship and the 2nd leg of his famous “Grand Slam”. SIGHTSEEING: Non-Golfers will have the opportunity to visit historic Chester, founded as a "castrum" or Roman fort in AD 79. Thanks to the Romans Chester is famous for its city walls, which are the most complete in Britain measuring nearly 2 miles as they encircle the bounds of the medieval city. Much of the architecture of central Chester looks medieval and some of it is but the greatest part of it, including most of the black-and-white buildings, is Victorian. Chester is best explored on foot through the unique half-timbered galleried streets. Overnight – Malmaison Liverpool, Standard Room 22 JULY, SATURDAY Today attend the third round of The 146th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale It is currently the number one course in England and consistently ranked highly in the Top 100 courses in the world. The course has been the stage for many great golf championships including the Walker Cup, the Curtis Cup, the Ryder Cup. On nine occasions now it has hosted The Open Championship, most recently in 2008 when Padraig Harrington won the claret jug. The ever present wind, whistling down the fairways when it comes from the sea, adds to the challenge. Each hole runs through a landscape of high dunes, the fairways are flat and fair and from the tee there is generally a clear view of the task ahead.

  • Julian Suri Receives Second Sponsor Exemption for Waste Management Phoenix Open Presented by the Ak-Chin Indian Community
    NEWS wmphoenixopen.com Release Date: January 18, 2018 Media Contact: Ryan Woodcock [email protected], (480) 766-1221 JULIAN SURI RECEIVES SECOND SPONSOR EXEMPTION FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT PHOENIX OPEN PRESENTED BY THE AK-CHIN INDIAN COMMUNITY SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Tournament Chairman Carlos Sugich announced today that European Tour up- and-comer Julian Suri will receive the second sponsor exemption for the Waste Management Phoenix Open Presented by The Ak-Chin Indian Community, which is set to tee it up January 29 – February 4 at TPC Scottsdale. Suri, who turned professional in 2013 after an impressive career at Duke, played his way on to the Challenge Tour (European Tour’s version of the Web.com Tour) in 2016 after missing out on the European Tour by one shot at Qualifying School. He earned his first professional win on the Challenge Tour at the D+D Real Czech Challenge in May of 2017, and qualified for the 2017 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, where he missed the cut in his first ever start in a Major Championship. Later that year he earned his first European Tour victory at the Made in Denmark, and played well enough in just a partial season to earn a spot in the DP World Tour Championship, where he finished T8 to end the season ranked 52nd on the European Tour’s Road to Dubai. Suri currently ranks 65th in the Official World Golf Ranking and is eighth on the Road to Dubai standings. “Through his young professional career Julian has shown he has the game and skills to make it on this level, and he’s already shown he can handle the big stage,” Sugich said.

Travis laid out the two 18-hole golf courses at Westchester Country Club, just 30 miles outside New York City, that opened in 1922. The courses were built by the Philadelphia-based architectural firm of Toomey and Flynn who built the modern course at Shinnecock Hills toward the end of the same decade. The club joined the USGA on Jan. 13, 1922, several months before the courses opened for play that summer. The West Course has hosted many memorable golf events over its history. Beginning with the 1923 U.S. Women’s Amateur, the course went on to host 44 PGA Tour events.
