"The Open is one of the showpiece events of the British sporting calendar and with so many iconic moments, such as Seve's putt in 1984, it is arguably the greatest major in golf.

These moments create indelible memories and are one of the main reasons why golfers were attracted to the game. Hopefully a new generation of golfers will be inspired by the events at this year's championship."
