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.
