| Turnberry originally was designed by 1883 British Open champion Willie Fernie. The course essentially was lost during World War II when the Royal Air Force Coastal Command turned it into an air base from which planes protected shipping convoys. With the war over, Philip Mackenzie Ross redesigned the Ailsa Course from scratch and it reopened in 1951. It did not host its first Open until 1977, and this will be only the fourth time the British Open is played there. |
