Description: An exilarating week at Royal Birkdale for The 146th Open featured huge crowds, record-breaking golf and a thrilling finale as America's Jordan Spieth became the Champion Golfer of the Year for the first time. Spieth's dramatic charge to victory, sure to be remembered as one of the greatest finishes in the Championship's history, is chronicled in full in this official Annual. Branden Grace's moment of history when the South African became the first player in a men's major championship to score 62 is also documented, along with Rory Mcllroy's rollercoaster challenge for the Claret Jug, US Open champion Brooks Koepka's attempt to do the transatlantic double, Mark O'Meara's farewell to The Open, Ian Poulter's return, an inpressive debut by young Austin Connelly, a stunning closing 63 by China's Haotong Li and a brave bid for a first major title from gracious runner-up Matt Kuchar. All this occurring in front of 235,000 spectators, a record for Birkdale and for any venue outside St Andrews. Three ahead at the start of the inal day, Spieth suddenly found himself trailing after a bogey at the 13th hole. But what a bogey, a never-to-be-forgotten sequence of a wild drive onto the dunes, an unplayable lie, a penalty drop on the practice range, a recovery to just short of the green and a delicate up-and-down. Inspired rather than deflated, Spieth hit back with a breathtaking finish of birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie-par. As Kuchar said: "All you cAn really do is sit back, tip your cap and say, 'well done.'" Spieth, winner of the Masters and the US Open in 2015, became only the second player after Jack Nicklaus to win a third different major title before the age of 24. "I'm going to enjoy this more," he said, "than anything that I've accomplished in the past." Brand New!!! bin 1110
