Golf Magazine did a great multi-article British Open Preview in its July issue, beginning on page 60. (You'll find this issue in our hanging files of back issues in the Periodicals area.)  Among the players featured are Greg Norman, Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros and Tom Watson, as well as lots of historical information about the Open Championship. 

I’m going to be watching the three contestants that have a South Carolina connection – D.J. Trahan (Clemson graduate), Dustin Johnson (Columbia native and graduate of Dutch Fork High School and Coastal Carolina University) and U.S. Open winner Lucas Glover (Greenville native and Clemson graduate). They’ll all be teeing off in the wee hours of the morning, but you can follow their progress on the Open Championship Web site.
