Place in history up for grabs for Scots golfers
It’s a statistic that adds spice to the event each year and among those aiming to create history this time around are Stephen Gallacher and Marc Warren, the top two Scots in the world rankings for the past eight months or so. Both have tasted success on Scottish soil as professionals – Gallacher winning the 2004 Dunhill Links at St Andrews and Warren claiming the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles three years later – but their national championship would take pride of place on CVs that each contain three European Tour triumphs.
“The Scottish boys certainly won’t be looking at it as a warm-up,” said Gallacher of the Aberdeen Asset Management-sponsored event preceding the 144th Open Championship at St Andrews. “We’re looking to win it – we all want that, not just the Open.”
