Let’s face it: No one can predict the future. Though Vegas tries to do so with their predictions and odds, ultimately some decisions leave sports fans scratching their heads. Golf could be arguably the most difficult sport to place odds on. Tiger Woods is not as much of a lock as he used to be, and strong up-and-comers are knocking at the door of elite status.

As the British Open pulls in to St. Andrews once again, it seems like the perfect time to reflect on some of the great moments in the history of ‘The Open.’ From the first Open played in 1860 through last year’s incredible runner-up performance by 59-year-old Tom Watson, this tournament has had some of the greatest stories in golf history.
