1923 Open Championship at Troon Program Reproduction Booklet - Arthur Havers Win
This was the very first Open Championship to be held at Royal Troon, and Arthur defeated defending champion Walter Hagen by one stroke. This wasn't just any stroke though, Arthur holed out a bunker shot on the 72nd hole! A first and only time major champion defeated the defending champion (Hagen) by holing out a bunker shot on the very last hole. Hagen would go on to win the following year, therefore book-ending an outstanding triumph by Havers. Pollock's was the sponsor for this publication and it should be noted that this was not published in 1923, however a reproduction from the one that was.
