The Open

Italy’s Francesco Molinari wins The British Open after an extraordinary final round full of drama, fireworks and heartbreak.

Francesco Molinari has become the first-ever Italian golfer to win a major.

Playing alongside Tiger Woods and playing what is arguably the toughest Open golf course, Molinari was incredible, particularly on the greens.

Lightning fast fairways, deep bunkers and a Tiger Woods injury scare dominated round one of The Open at Carnoustie.

The Open Championship is always a pleasure to watch. It’s such a change to be watching golfers in two, three minds off the tees. to see golfers in the same group hitting approach shots from wildly different distances into greens, often in some wild, but still very much escapable rough.

Eight Australian will head to a dry, fast running Carnoustie this week for the The 147th Open Championship.

Jordan Spieth’s Open win got the attention of 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus.

Despite the 20 minute delay, Jack Nicklaus has praised Jordan Spieth’s decision to take a penalty drop back on to the practise range during the final round of The Open.

Jordan Spieth has won his third major with a remarkable three-stroke victory over fellow American Matt Kuchar.

Jordan Spieth has become the youngest winner of The Open since Seve Ballesteros, and joins Jack Nicklaus as the only golfers to have won three of the four majors before the age of 24 after an epic final round duel with Matt Kuchar.
