The Open Championship returns to St Andrews "The Home of
Golf" in July 2010 which will mark the 150th anniversary
of the Open Championship. Once again the worlds'
greatest golfers will gather to do battle for the famous
Claret Jug over the Old Course where Tiger Woods has
been victorious on the last two occasions in 2000 and
2005.
The British Open
Championship is one of the oldest and most notable golf
championships, which takes place in the United Kingdom.
It is also referred to as the Open Championship or the
British Open (though out of the UK). The games are
usually held at one of the most remarkable and
prestigious UK golf clubs.
The British Open is the
third one played during the calendar year. The US
Masters takes place in April, the US Open in June and
the PGA Championship takes place in August.
The winner of the
British Open receives a generous prize of more than $8
million and receives the coveted Golf Champion Trophy,
also known as the Claret Jug, awarded since 1871. At the
end of 72 holes, if golfers are tied, players play a
four-hole playoff beginning with the 1st hole, then the
16th through 18th. If still tied, the players repeat the
18th hole until a champion emerges. Some of the most
notable winners of the British Open include Bobby Jones
- the last amateur to win,
Harry Vardon, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Tiger
Woods just to name a few.

Open Betting Tips
If you are keen to
place a bet on a golfer, be sure to take a look at our
2010 British Open betting guide for a
few great tips.
Louis Oosthuizen lifted the Claret Jug as British Open champion after shooting a 71 on Sunday, July 18th. Oosthuizen went 24 consecutive holes without a bogey until his streak ended on the par-3 eighth hole by missing a 6-foot par putt. That trimmed his lead to three, and Casey hit driver onto the par-4 ninth green.
2009 Open Championship
Winner
In
2009, Stewart Cink beat Tom Watson in a play-off to win
the 138th Open at Turnberry and complete his maiden
major victory. The big American beat the heroic Watson
in a play-off on a day when three different Englishmen
had led at various times in the afternoon. Poor Cink, a
more than decent American golfer, has just become the
biggest villain in Open history.

Harrington, beating Ian Poulter to the top of the leader
board results. Padraig Harrington, the winner f last
year's Open. completed a 69 Round 4 at the British Open

Winner The Open Championship was
held at Carnoustie from Thursday 19th to Sunday 22rd
July 2007.
Harrington won in dramatic form at Carnoustie last year after dropping two shots on the 72nd hole and getting his hands on the Claret Jug only after a four-hole play-off against Sergio Garcia, who had been long-time leader of the Championship.

majors held by Jack Nicklaus.
