Fans Take Refuge in St Andrews' Favourite '19th Hole'

ST ANDREWS, Scotland — Sheena Willoughby has served countless thirsty fans at five British Opens since taking the keys to the Dunvegan Hotel 21 years ago.

But the Scot has never seen a day like Saturday.

After strong winds had stopped play early in the morning, the thousands who'd flooded in to this ancient Scottish town had little more to do than share golfing tales over a 'wee dram'.

And as "19th holes" go, they don't come much more steeped in golfing mystique than the Dunvegan.

"I just hope we don't run out of beer," Sheena, who with Texan husband Jack bought the hotel in 1994, told Reuters.
