St Andrews, United Kingdom: The British Open was blown off course on Saturday with organisers forced to call a delayed Monday finish for just the second time in its 155-year long history.

Grand Slam in the making? There’s still a day to go on the Old Course, and a PGA Championship to be played before we start talking about Spieth in terms of golf history, or perhaps even golf immortality.

“But I’ll have a smile on my face and enjoy walking around St. Andrews, I can tell you that”. And right now there’s nothing Spieth wants more than his name on the claret jug that goes to the British Open victor.

Jordan Spieth was a stroke behind the leaders with a shot at his third consecutive major tournament victory.

Jordan Spieth is the oddmakers’ choice as the clear favorite to win the British Open, but there are other ways to wager on the action. This morning, when we went out, it was almost impossible, but we managed to hang in there. But his shot seemed to hit an invisible wall as...

THE THIRD ROUND of the Open at St Andrews is underway after high winds caused havoc on Saturday.

Several dozen players returned to the course early Saturday morning to complete the second round after a rain delay of more than three hours the previous day.

The R&A announces that the final round of The Open will be played on Monday because of the rain and high-wind delays at St Andrews.

The tournament typically has a somewhat underwhelming field, but two-time 2015 major victor Jordan Spieth maintained his commitment to the event which he won in 2013, elevating the status of this week’s event.

The defending champion sent his tee shot left on the par-5 16th and when he approached his ball, there was a man sitting the ground with blood coming from a cut on his head.

“Just another round of golf”, he said afterwards.

It may have been, but only in retrospect, because after Spieth two-putted from there to finish the tournament at five under par, Johnson hit his approach into the 18th green even closer, to 12 feet.
