Golf
Open Champions
St Andrews first held an Open Championship way back in 1873.
In the modern era (ie since 1920)), thirteen players have won an Open at the Home of Golf , including Bobby Jones (1927), Seve Ballesteros (1984), Sam Snead (1937), Jack Nicklaus (1970, 1978) and Tiger Woods (2000, 2005).
Since 'Champagne' Tony Lema in 1964, all the St Andrews Champions have been multiple Major winners, and of those all but John Daly have won at least two Open Championships.
