No tests for drugs at Open
The Open at Royal Birkdale this summer will not be the first major championship ever to test players for drugs.
Despite the formation of an anti-doping policy adopted by the professional game late last year and the anticipated start of testing on the American and European tours in July the Royal and Ancient Club have decided that their event will not be included this time.
