Creativity and patience a must around Muirfield

In 1992, I was fortunate enough to qualify for my one and only appearance in a Major, the British Open Championship at Muirfield.

After years of trials and tribulations, I had finally realised my ambition to play in the greatest professional championship of them all and at a venue widely respected as being one of the very best Britain has to offer.

When preparing for your first Major you are immediately struck by the sheer scale of the event. Logistically, the British Open is extremely impressive and right from the off you are made to feel very special indeed. From the courtesy cars to the players’ lounge, from the practice facilities to the knowledgeable galleries, everything is there to help you optimise your performance or, at the very least, leave a lasting impression.
