152nd Open Championship preview with Jim "Bones" Mackay straight from Royal Troon
As the 152nd Open Championship was about to get underway, Pete Wlodkowski from AmateurGolf.com caught up with "Bones" as he was surveying and studying the course for broadcast, just like he would do as a caddie.

He's just as nice and accommodating in person as he is on TV. How fun would it be to have him "on the bag" for just one dream round? Bones loves links golf, and the creativity it brings out in the world's best players. He should know; he's been on the bag for an Open champion - Phil Mickelson in 2013 at Muirfield.

See everything Bones had to say about the Open Championship and Links golf to get you ready for this week.



ABOUT THE British Open

The most coveted trophy in the game and one of the most iconic in all of sport: more commonly referred to as the Claret Jug. Within minutes of winning the British Open, the "Champion Golfer of the Year" gets his name engraved on that cup, and a place in golfing history.

Amateurs have played an important role in the tournament over the years, with players like Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, and more recently Alfie Plant stepping into the international limelight with their golfing performances.
