For all the gallant efforts and judicious decisions made to stage most of the marquee golf championships during the pandemic world of 2020, a massive piece remained missing.

The Open Championship.

Unlike the Masters, which moved its tournament from April to November; or the U.S.

Australia’s Min Woo Lee has beaten some of the best in the world on his way to winning the Scottish Open.

Min Woo Lee birdied the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to claim his second European Tour title at the Scottish Open.

Lee charged to the top of a star-studded leaderboard – including Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas and Ian Poulter – with six consecutive birdies on the front nine at The Renaissance Club.

After a year’s absence due to the coronavirus pandemic, The Open Championship returns in 2021, and here is how Australian golf fans can watch it.

The Open Championship will be played at Royal St.George’s in Sandwich, Kent next week – Greg Norman won here in 1993, just saying 😉

There will be 10 Australians in the 156-man field – Adam Scott, Jason Day, Marc Leishman, Cameron Smith, Lucas Herbert, Brad Kennedy, Aaron Pike, Jason Scrivener, Matt Jones and Deyen Lawson,

Sadly, Rocket Mortgage Championship winner Cam Davis won’t be in the field as he is unable to travel due to recently getting married and applying for a green card.
