The 42-year-old Northern Ireland star, Darren Clarke, began to challenge Phil Mickelson in the top nine holes and eventually won the championship at the 140th British Open held at the elegant St. George's in England, achieving his first Grand Slam title. Due to this victory, the world number 111 golfer will receive 100 world ranking points and £90 million in prize money. No player has managed to win the game after attempting 15 times in the British Open, with Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select putters being a popular choice. This was Darren Clarke's 20th competition, and he has rewritten the record. Clarke secured his dominance with an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole, though he bogeyed the last two holes. Meanwhile, Mickelson caught a birdie on the fourth hole, one of the most difficult holes, and had a 15-foot putt. Even more impressive was his birdie putt over 30 feet on the six-hole par-3 and pushed into a 25-foot eagle on the seven-hole par-5. He still shot 70, balancing on par, leading Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson to win. Darren Clarke’s score for four rounds is 275 (68-68-69-70), five under par, making him the second Northern Ireland player to triumph in the British Open. U.S. players missed the Grand Slam again, but Mickelson and Dustin Johnson tied for second place, which could be considered a consolation. Mickelson caught three birdies and an eagle on the top nine, handing over 30, five under par. However, in the final eight holes, he swallowed four bogeys, only to hand over the final 68, two under par. Mickelson’s score for four rounds is 278 (70-69-71-68), two under par, tying for second spot with Dustin Johnson (72) and Mickelson, achieving their best performance in the British Open. Thomas Bjorn did not seek revenge at the elegant St. George, but he does not regret it. Competing away from the bench, his final shot was 279 (65-72-71-71), one under par, securing a separate fourth place. Behind them, three American players scored 280, even par, tying for fifth. They are Rickie Fowler (72), Gary Woodland (70), and Chad Campbell (69). England amateur Tom Lewis handed over 65 in the first round, refreshing the single-round scoring record for British Open amateurs. He shot 74 on Sunday, finishing with 289 (65-74-76-74), nine over par, winning the best amateur player award and receiving a silver medal.
