THERE’S only one drawback to the 150th Open Championship coming home to the birthplace of golf at St Andrews. It can all be a little bit much for the famous Scots town.
The PGA Tour and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of Saint Andrews like to keep track of how many visitors flood into the eastern-coast enclave when it hosts The Open – whether to attend the tournament or just to absorb the atmosphere. Tournament organisers and local authorities expect more than an additional 200,000 people will be St Andrews-bound between yesterday and Sunday.
