ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — A raging storm lashing the Old Course with sheets of rain caused chaos early Friday morning in the 144th British Open, then gale-forced winds triggered disorder Saturday.
A bounty of birdies caused bedlam Sunday.
Buckle up for Monday’s stampede to the Claret Jug.
The giant yellow scoreboards that loom over the course became a sea of red numbers as soft winds blew in from the North Sea and the skies above opened up ever so briefly. With the Old Course vulnerable on a delightful Sunday, a glut of players destroyed par with one masterful stroke after another and turned the oldest major championship in golf into a donnybrook at the top.
