1987 British Open - Faldo the Brave - Muirfield

MUIRFIELD, East Lothian, Scotland-Old Tom Morris 1891

Muirfield is simply one of the best courses in the world. The home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. Muirfield is the first golf course to be designed in two concentric, opposing loops. The first 9 holes proceed clockwise along the outside edge while the back 9 run counter clockwise in the inner part. It works out that there are no three consecutive holes running in the same direction. The Club has hosted 15 Open Championships since 1892. Although the thick rough and cavernous bunkers, of which there are 151, can make it a very severe test. Henry Cotton called it ?cruelly fair?. Tom Watson said there was ?not a weak hole on the course?. Jack Nicklaus, was so taken with this links he named his golf complex in Ohio, Muirfield Village, after it

I don't remember him having to putt through a bagpiper. Did he get a drop in reality?
