Established in 1886, Royal Lytham has held ten British Opens and two Ryder Cups.
1926 was a significant year fro the club, not only did it host its first Open, but King George V gave his approval to adding the word 'Royal' to the club's title just in time for the championship to start. The legenday American, Bobby Jones, won the 1926 Open, one of the most talented and successful amateurgolfers of all time. Trailing a fellow American with only five holes to play, Jones played one of the toughest five-hole finishes in British golf to take his first title. He was to go on to win the Open twice more and also claim the amateur title.
Despite their domination of the game, it wasn't until 1996 that another American took the Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes in the shape of Tom Lehman, breaking the course record of 65 in the third round. He went on to describe his final round of 73 as "not pretty, but gritty". It was enough to keep him two shots ahead of the rest.
Lytham pays homage to the game of golf and to the greatest Championship in the world. From Seve's signed scorecard to Bobby Jones's priceless portrait hanging in the Club Room, the place is not only a living, breathing museum but it is also a world-class sporting venue.
