The Open Championship returns to Royal Birkdale for a 10th time. Birkdale is located in Southport, England, and is one of 10 courses currently in the Open rota. Most of the other nine courses have hosted more Opens. By this championship's standards, Birkdale is still fairly young as a host.
Birkdale has provided some tremendous Open (and non-Open) moments, though. There was the famous shot Arnold Palmer hit out of a bush in 1961 to win that year.
