The Open at St Andrews is the ultimate major....just ask Jack Nicklaus...he said to be an all time great you have to win an Open at the home of golf....The course is not all tricked up like at the US Open.....and all British Opens are played on links courses...the wind changes all day long...it really challenges the players.
I am going to St Andrews tomorrow for the week, I went there in 2000, hoping for a different winner this time...
surly it doesn't matter - its the same for everyone so the sence of competition is identical, plus the british open is easily the most important major, followed by the masters
US Open is much more difficult than the British Open. Just look at it scoring wise. The British Open really has to rely on the weather being bad and if it isnt people score all over the place. US Open could have awesome weather but still be very difficult just due to the straight up course conditions.
@dandydude123xyz Not to americans. ANY american golfer will say that the green jacket is the dream all us junior golfers pretend to be putting for the win on the practice greens.
Id much rather win the US Open but I am American that probably has something to do with it. Also I think it would be more of an accomplishment since it is more challenging.
Thats what makes a links course hard- the weather. And it is going to be windy on a links course 9 times out of 10. If a course like Torrey Pines was put by the sea in Britain it would be impossible.
some may shoot 16 under, but if you can shoot 17 you win, just because the US Open plays a lower score means nothing. If it's an easy course, it's an easy course for eveyone.
I Hope I'll Play St Andrews Some Day, It Would Be A Honour
