In 2016, Henrik Stenson beat Phil Mickelson to win The Open at Royal Troon with a score of -20 to -17; it's one of the most memorable tournament.
J B Holmes came in third; he shot -6, eleven shots behind Mickelson.
Hope next week will be as scintillating!

Yealimi Noh picked up a small check of $5,030 today; but it’s symbolically important.
With the check, Yealimi returned to inside Top-80 official money at #79. She needs to stay inside Top-80 to play ANA Inspiration.
She could pick more checks at AIG and Walmart, but one step at a time.

Minami Katsu departing Haneda Airport with her mom who will caddy for her.
Momoko Ueda also departing Haneda airport.
... and Mone Inami, who was a DNS at the NEC Karuizawa event, departs Haneda airport.
**********
Maybe Lewis can pay someone to take a pic of her getting on a shuttle bus to Troon.

Muni He qualified for AIG from Ladies Scottish Open; but she isn't on the Pairings list.
Muni's boyfriend Alex Albon was in London the week before, may be they've planned to be together this week.
My guess is Muni's LPGA career is numbered.
Albane Valenzuela failed to qualify, she missed the cut at Ladies Scottish Open.

Weather forecast is in the sixties, raining all four days and winds 15-10 MPH.
It's Celine Boutier kind of weather.
