| The
Ailsa Came to international prominence in 1977, with the legendary
between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson in the Open Championship.
In brilliantly sunny weather, a capacity crowd was treated to
an exhilarating display of golf from two of the finest players
the world has ever seen.
This
contest was the first of several epic clashes that have taken
place on the Ailsa in recent years, with Greg Norman and Nick
Price also battling through to win the coveted claret jug.
The
Ailsa is Turnberry's masterpiece, a course that Colin Montgomerie
has called 'the finest links golf course in the world'.
