It’s been more than a quarter of a century since there was a Scottish winner of the Open Golf Championship - when Paul Lawrie took the 1999 title following a memorable playoff at Carnoustie. As Robert McIntyre seeks to end that drought at Royal Portrush, it’s worth reminding ourselves of how successful Scotland has been in the major competition since it was first played at Prestwick Golf Club in 1860. Indeed it wasn’t until 1890 that somebody won who was NOT from Scotland - English player John Ball - ending three decades of domination by Scots. And, even if there has been slim pickings in recent decades, Scotland remains the country with the second most Open Champinship titles after the USA, with 41 titles (the USA are ahead with 47, while the English have a paltry 22). Here’s every Scottish golfer to have won the Open Championship, in order of their first win.
