British Open tickets are an opportunity to walk and see a truly historic course, regardless of the specific venue. The field was originally restricted to professionals, but was opened to amateurs in the tournament's second year, expanding the field to 18 players - eight amateurs and 10 professionals. Over the nearly 150 years the tournament has been played, there have been several legendary records broken and held. Perhaps the most prestigious record is the one for most victories, held by Harry Vardon, who won his last title in 1914. British Open tickets are sports tickets that allow you to not only bask in all of this history and to see today's greatest players, but you can ... enjoy all that the UK has to offer while you're there.

Allenby is playing a lot better in recent weeks but his British Open record is not good, although having said that, he has made most cuts. He was 10th in 1997 but that apart there have been few good finishes. He is beginning to play well again ... in recent weeks although could only manage a mid field finish at the Scottish Open.

Thursday's first round of the British Open had a nice, interesting feel most of the day. The leaderboard flowed with international flavor, players from Northern Ireland and England and Spain and Japan jostling near the top. Overnight thunderstorms softened Royal Liverpool, making it more than willing to relinquish red numbers.

The most British Open wins? It's gotta be Tom Watson doesn't it, with 5 (1975, 1977, 1980,1982 and 1983)? Sorry no....................Harry Vardon won 6 Opens (1896, 1898, 1899, 1903,1911, 1914). No wonder they named a "grip" after him!

''He wasn't that great at knock-down shots,'' O'Meara said Tuesday near the practice putting green at Carnoustie, where the 136th British Open begins Thursday. ''If you asked him, he would admit that he wasn't as comfortable or capable of playing the low shot as he is today.''

Tom perhaps surprisingly finished fourth here to Tiger Woods in 2000 in his very first British Open although that has been by far his best showing on this side of the Atlantic. The last few weeks have seen Toms in very good form although last week at the John Deere Classic he seemed to be going through the motions somewhat.
