GOLFERS ,BRITISH Open (Golf tournament) - Abstract
The article highlights golfer Lee Trevino's victory at the British Open in 1971. The win came after he captured both the U.S. and Canadian Open titles. His game in the British Open is reminiscent of his win over Jack Nicklaus in the playoff for the U.S. Open championship. His British Open title was won over contenders Tony Jacklin and Lu Liang-Huan. Critics lamented that Trevino's historic win could not have happened at a better golf course, saying that the courses in England lacked enchantment, charm, playing quality and tradition.
