The 2010 British Open takes place at St Andrews between 15th - 18th July 2010.

Stewart Cink wins the 2009 Open Championship after a Play Off with Tom Watson

Tom Watson, the oldest man in the course at 59 years old and a five time British Open Champion is on course to become the oldest player ever to win a Major tournament. He maintained his lead at the top of the Leaderboard at the end of Round Three on 4 under par, displaying form that defies imagination. It is clear he has the ability to win and his nerve seems intact, even the Bookmakers are now beginning to believe as his price has halved overnight in the Open Golf Odds.

Britain’s Ross Fisher is just one behind, the 28 year old who was fifth at the US Open only three weeks ago is in the form of his life and could well go on to claim his first Major and become the first Britain since Paul Lawrie in 1999 to win.

To win however Fisher must hope that his pregnant wife does not go into labour whilst he is on course as he has said that hew ill leave the course immediately if that happens.

Fisher shares second place with Matt Goggin of Australia who will also be bidding for a first major crown. Behind them they have the likes of the great. Lee Westwood who has played very impressively all tournament and is a huge danger as are former major champions Retief Goosen and Jim Furyk.

The US Masters takes place in April, the US Open in June and the PGA Championship takes place in August. The Open Championship history is a long and colourful one and has hosted many fantastic Tournaments. The roll of honour reads like a who's who of golf as will be noted by reading the British Open past results.
