'Dawgs on Tour: Highlander Edition (aka The Open)

A fearsome fivesome of former 'Dawgs cross the Firth of Forth to play in the world's oldest golf tournament. And we hope that there is no #Brexit for our Bulldogs without a Claret Jug in tow. After all, there can be only one.

Tournament: The Open Championship (aka The British Open), July 14-17 2016

Course: Royal Troon GC, 7,190 yards, par 71 (just southwest of Glasgow, Scotland).

Purse: $8,420,000

Defending Champion: Zack Johnson. On a weekend that extended to Monday because of very poor weather, Johnson finished earlier than the final round leaders, and put up a number that then #1 Jordan Spieth and then #2 Jason Day just couldn’t match.
