Summary
Zach shoots four under 66 while RORY RORS and Chan KIM are next best with 68's (only 8 under par round today). WHO's Chan KIM (USA)... The Arizona-based Korean-American had a week he will never forget in May. It began with him coming through a sectional qualifier for the US Open, then ended with him lifting his first Japan Golf Tour title and with it claiming a spot at Royal Birkdale. He stormed to a five-stroke success at the Gateway to The Open Mizuno Open, part of The Open Qualifying Series which offers four places in golf’s most international major championship. “To play in The Open has been one of my biggest dreams,” said Kim, who went into the event ranked 561st in the world. “Just to see all the history there I’m extremely excited and honoured. From what I’ve seen on TV I can expect a lot of wind, a lot of rain and really difficult conditions. It will be tough, but I am really looking forward to it.” He was the winner of the 2013 Asian Tour qualifying school and in his rookie season was runner-up to Thaworn Wiratchant in the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship. Having gained a card for the Japanese circuit his best finish there last year was a tie for eighth, but his runaway victory this spring certainly put him on the map. |

America's Chan Kim won the Mizuno Open by 5 shots posting 15 under par(at JFE Setonaikai Golf Club in Okayama, Japan) and also qualified for the 146th Open at Royal Birkdale. He'll be joined by Michael Hendry (10 under par) of New Zealand, Australia's Adam Bland (-7) and KT Kim (-6) of Korea.
Chan is 500's with Laddies (300 generally) btw. |

1954: Peter Thomson began his run of three straight Open victories by capturing his first Claret Jug at Birkdale by one stroke over South African legend Bobby Locke. Thomson, then just 24 years old, became the first Australian to win The Open and the youngest champion since Bobby Jones. Peter twice won the Open at this year's venue. The Australian won the event five times in all.
Thomson and Tom Watson each won their fifth Open at Royal Birkdale. This is the 10th Open contested at Royal Birkdale in Southport, Lancashire. The last time Birkdale hosted the Open, in 2008, was the only time this century that nobody has finished under par - Padraig Harrington's winning score was three over. Maybe one the most memorable Birkdale moments occurred during the Ryder Cup, not the Open Championship. From 1959 until the 1969 matches, the United States had dominated the Ryder Cup. This streak included a 23.5 to 8.5 blowout in 1967. But at the 1969 matches, Great Britain had its best chance to take back the trophy. The final match between Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin came down to the final hole. Before Jacklin could strike a match-halving putt, Nicklaus picked up his competitor’s marker and said “I don’t think you would have missed it, but I wasn’t going to give you the chance, either.” “The Concession” as it would later be known, halved the Ryder Cup. Since the United States won the previous Cup, they retained the trophy; they kept it for another sixteen years, until 1985. Three generations of the Hawtree family of golf course architects have worked on the course. Frederick G. Hawtree and champion golfer J.H. Taylor are the two people most responsible for the current routing, following the valleys between the very large dunes which dominate the property. The arrangement makes for excellent spectator conditions during major events. Frederick W. Hawtree, the son of Frederick G, performed some modifications in the 1960s and in 1993 Martin Hawtree, son of Frederick W., improved and modernised the layout further, with all 18 of the club's greens being completely rebuilt, to improve turf and drainage following the 1991 Open Championship. The list of Open winners at Birkdale is a who’s who of Hall of Famers (HOF) and multiple Major winners. Take a look: 1954: Peter Thomson (World Golf Hall of Fame, five-time Open Championship winner) 1961: Arnold Palmer (World Golf Hall of Fame, seven-time major champion) 1965: Peter Thomson again 1971: Lee Trevino (World Golf Hall of Fame, six-time major champion) 1976: Johnny Miller (World Golf Hall of Fame, two-time major champion) 1983: Tom Watson (World Golf Hall of Fame, eight-time major champion) 1991: Ian Baker-Finch (then one of the top two or three players in the world) 1998: Mark O’Meara (World Golf Hall of Fame, two-time major champion) 2008: Padraig Harrington (three-time major champion, soon-to-be HOFer) The Open has had its fair share of out-of-nowhere winners — those random guys that come from deep down the world rankings, win a major, and then aren't really heard from much again. But not Birkdale, it's a HOF proving ground. History awaits. |
