 2008 British Open
July 17-July 20, 2008 - Royal Birkdale Golf Club
Southport, England
The Open Championship returns to the Lancashire Course
at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club from Thursday 17th to
Sunday 20th July 2008. This will be the ninth time Royal
Birkdale has hosted the Championship, from Peter
Thomson's win in 1954 to Mark O'Meara's in 1998.The
worlds' greatest golfers will gather to do battle for
the famous Claret Jug. This course will hold special
memories for Australian fans as both Peter Thomson
(twice) and Ian Baker-Finch have been good enough to
take home The Claret Jug.
One of Britain's finest
golf clubs and host to two Ryder Cups, the Walker and
Curtis Cups, the Women's British Open and the Open
Championship on eight previous occasions, Royal Birkdale
has been voted the No 1 course in Britain, and is among
the best in the world.
The Open was first
staged at Royal Birkdale in 1954 when Peter Thomson won
the first of his five Open Championships and he
conquered again at Birkdale eleven years later in 1965.
A further six Open Championships have been staged at the
Lancashire course which many believe is the best English
course on the Open rota. This famous challenging links
course last hosted the Open Championship in July 1998
when Mark O'Meara beat Brian Watts in a play off.
The Royal Birkdale Golf
Club is situated in the North West of England, on the
same stretch of coastline as Royal Liverpool and Royal
Lytham St Annes, both also Open Championship venues. As
well as England's Golf Coast, the Northwest region also
contains Liverpool, Manchester,
Lancashire and Cumbria.
