“Unlike other events, there’s more focus on having fun and appreciating the history of St. Andrews. But don’t be fooled by the players’ relaxed attitudes early on. It’s back to business once the tournament starts. Winning the Open is one thing, but winning here makes it even sweeter.”
As Jack Nicklaus once famously said, “If you want to be remembered, you have to win at St Andrews.”
