When it comes to horses for courses, no one’s closer to the triple crown at Royal Liverpool than Matthew Jordan. The 27-year-old Englishman has been a Hoylake member since age 7, and he believes he won three straight club championships – because “people like my dad were playing,” he adds – before shifting his focus to elite amateur competition.
This week, Jordan is back at his stomping grounds. This time, though, he’ll be playing a major championship – and he’ll be hitting the opening tee shot Thursday morning to kick off the 151st Open Championship.
On Monday, Jordan ventured into the interview room before heading out to see the course for the first time in a couple weeks.
