Royal St. George's to host 2020 Open Championship

The R&A has announced that the 2020 Open Championship will be played at Royal St. George's, the scene of Darren Clarke's memorable victory in 2011.

Royal St. George's, which voted in March 2015 to admit women members, will stage the Open for the 15th time and the first since Clarke held off the challenge of Phil Mickelson and new world No. 1 Dustin Johnson.

Clarke said: "I have so many wonderful memories from that week at Sandwich and I will be thrilled to go back there for The Open in three years' time.
