It's 30 YEARS ON since The Great White Shark, Greg Norman, with his shocking blond hair and power game, compelled attention at Trumps Turnberry. His attacking style did not always come off but twice he played rounds of such quality that he could not fail to win two Open Championships. At Turnberry in 1986 he scored a 63 in the second round, equalling the Open record. It was wild and windy that year but Norman played so well he had a chance for a 61 before three-putting at the last. He went on to collect a long-awaited first Major by five strokes. Is this PHIL MICKELSON's time ? |

ANYWAYS Mickelson's 63 slaughtered the course record by three strokes as Troon hosts The OPEN for the ninth time.

Phil becomes the 26th player to shoot a 63 in a Major, and ninth to do so in The OPEN (and the first at Royal Troon obviously).

THE HOLE AVERAGES is also a good indicator of how tough the back nine is playing with holes...11th, 15th, 13th, 10th, 17th 16th, 12th & 14th ranked the #1 to #8th hardest.
The hardest hole on the front nine is the 8th (ranked 9th toughest overall) while the 4th hole (with 3 eagles so far - Aphibarnrat, An & Porteous) is the easiest on the course. UPDATE on the 10 toughest holes - 11th, 10th, 15th, 13th, 17th, 12th, 8th 2nd, 18th & 5th. |

"On the tee..." will never sound the same again…as Ivor Robson retired last year after concluding his duties at The 144th Open at St Andrews and this morning his familiar Scottish Lilt was replaced by the more neutral tones of David Lancaster. This morning it was Lancaster who welcomed Colin Montgomerie onto the first tee for the opening match at 6.35am but for the rest of the week he will be sharing starter duties with his sidekick Matt Corker.

And the two Amateurs have their lost the chance of a Silver Medal.
The Silver Medal awarded to the leading amateur of an Open Championship on a Sunday is one of the most coveted and treasured of trophies. The medal has been played for since 1949 and was won four times in the first five years by Frank Stranahan, of the United States. Since then only three players have won it twice: Joe Carr, Sir Michael Bonallack and Peter McEvoy. Interestingly, only two of the 42 players to have won the Silver Medal later captured the Open Championship itself: Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Since 1981, however, five have gone on to become Major Champions. In order: Hal Sutton, Jose Maria Olazabal, Woods, Justin Rose and McIlroy. • 1949 – Frank Stranahan • 1950 – Frank Stranahan (2) • 1951 – Frank Stranahan (3) • 1952 – Jackie Jones • 1953 – Frank Stranahan (4) • 1954 – Peter Toogood • 1955 – Joe Conrad • 1956 – Joe Carr • 1957 – Dickson Smith • 1958 – Joe Carr (2) • 1959 – Reid Jack • 1960 – Guy Wolstenholme • 1961 – Ronnie White • 1962 – Charlie Green • 1963 – none • 1964 – none • 1965 – Michael Burgess • 1966 – Ronnie Shade • 1967 – none • 1968 – Michael Bonallack • 1969 – Peter Tupling • 1970 – Steve Melnyk • 1971 – Michael Bonallack (2) • 1972 – none • 1973 – Danny Edwards • 1974 – none • 1975 – none • 1976 – none • 1977 – none • 1978 – Peter McEvoy • 1979 – Peter McEvoy (2) • 1980 – Jay Sigel • 1981 – Hal Sutton • 1982 – Malcolm Lewis • 1983 – none • 1984 – none • 1985 – José María Olazábal • 1986 – none • 1987 – Paul Mayo • 1988 – Paul Broadhurst • 1989 – Russell Claydon • 1990 – none • 1991 – Jim Payne • 1992 – Daren Lee • 1993 – Iain Pyman • 1994 – Warren Bennett • 1995 – Steve Webster • 1996 – Tiger Woods • 1997 – Barclay Howard • 1998 – Justin Rose • 1999 – none • 2000 – none • 2001 – David Dixon • 2002 – none • 2003 – none • 2004 – Stuart Wilson • 2005 – Lloyd Saltman • 2006 – Marius Thorp • 2007 – Rory McIlroy • 2008 – Chris Wood • 2009 – Matteo Manassero • 2010 – Jin Jeong • 2011 – Tom Lewis • 2012 – none • 2013 – Matthew Fitzpatrick • 2014 – none • 2015 – Jordan Niebrugge |
