A PAL of mine once asked, “if you were a golfer and could win any major, which one would it be?” The answer was simple: it would be the Masters almost every time – and the only exception would be when The Open came to St Andrews, as it has just done.
While our opinions might not mean much, you can take your pick of almost any pro over these past few days and they’ll tell you The Old Course is like nowhere else. The greatest of them all, Tiger Woods, echoed sentiments he’s expressed many times before when, following on from what is looking likely to be his St Andrews swansong, he said: “This is my favourite course in the world. I fell in love with it back in 1995.”
