the dates of the 2015 british open golf championship
2015 Open Championship The 2015 Open Championship was a men's major golf championship and the 144th Open Championship, held from 16â€“20 July at the Old Course at St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. It was the 29th Open Championship played at the course and Zach Johnson won in a four-hole playoff for his second major title.
The Open Championship In Britain, the tournament is best known by its official title, The Open Championship, or simply the Open.[23] Outside of the United Kingdom, the tournament is often referred to as the "British Open" to disambiguate the tournament from other national open golf tournaments, such as the U.S. Open. Likewise, the Masters and PGA Championship are often referred to as the "U.S. Masters" and "U.S. PGA Championship" outside of the United States, the latter being distinguished in the UK from the European Tour's BMW PGA Championship.[24][25] In recent years, the R&A has worked to discourage media outlets from referring to the event as the British Open; for instance, the tournament's current television deal with U.S. network NBC contractually forbids the broadcaster from doing so. NBC presenter Johnny Miller admitted that during their first year as broadcaster, he sometimes had to correct himself on-air after accidentally referring to the event as the British Open.[23] The Open's women's counterpart, however, is officially titled the Women's British Open.
