The venue for the 2009 Open Championship has been officially announced. It will be held at Turnberry, Aryshire & Arran.
This venue has held the open four times in its history with one incorporating a historic golfing battle between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus, fondly known as the 'Duel in the Sun' in 1977 where Watson and Nicklaus, tied over 54 holes and in the lead by a clear nine shots, matched each other shot for shot until the final hole where Watson hit a spectacular seven-iron to two feet and converted the putt to take the open championship from the already two-time champion Jack Nicklaus.
Early rumours pit a similar battle between the great Tiger Woods and the up and coming Anthony Kim, is this the next 'Duel in the Sun'? Or can Padraig Harrington achieve the near impossible and claim three successive Open Championship titles?
Tickets are available on the gate on respective days and prices of all hospitality and exclusive offers will be posted on here in due course so keep an eye out.......
