Though the weather was less than ideal, the 115th Open Champiosnship at Turnberry was a memorable occasion which the Championship Committee of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club is pleased to have recorded in this publication. In the winds of the first day the average score soared above 78 strokes. Then Greg Norman, our eventual champion, returned a 63 on the second day to equal the lowest score in Open Championship history. He held a one-stroke advantage after the rainy third round and came home five strokes clear on the marvellous fourth day when, at last, the beaustiful setting of Turnberry was seen at its best.
