Open Championship

The Open Championship is one of the two oldest Association championships with the Amateur. First contested in 1899, it has been played continuously except during World War I (1917-18) and World War II (1943-45). The championship is now 36 holes of stroke play.

winning his fifth Open Championship.

Previous champions include, Fred Brand, Sr., Eben Byers, W.C. Fownes, Emil Loeffler, Ted Luther, Sam Parks, Johnny Bulla, Lew Worsham and Arnold Palmer. Amateurs have won the championship thirteen times, most recently by Marshall Marraccini in 2001 and John Jones in 1994.

Roy Vucinich's victory this year is significant in that it tied Jock Hutchison and Perry DelVecchio for most career victories in the event and also for winning in four separate decades.
