ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- The Open celebrates its 150th anniversary at the home of golf this week, and its homecoming at St. Andrews couldn't have come at a better time for the game.

"I love it here, it's incredible," two-time major winner Justin Thomas said. "It's very special. It's unique. It is the most true links Open I have ever played.
