Royal St George's Golf Club
Royal St. George's
This memorable links has been a regular member of the Open Championship rotation. Harry Vardon, Walter Hagen, Greg Norman and Darren Clarke are great golfers to hoist the Claret Jug trophy here. The par-3 No. 16 at Royal St. George’s has delivered pleasure and pain over the years. Tony Jacklin made the first televised hole-in-one there in 1967. Thomas Bjorn watched his Open Championship hopes fade when he needed three shots to escape a greenside bunker there in 2003.
