AILSA COURSE, TURNBERRY VIDEO
The Ailsa Course, redesigned by Mackenzie Ross
between 1949 and 1951, has staged The Open
Championship on four occasions (1977, 1986, 1994,
and 2009). It has also hosted many other important
golf tournaments, including the Women's British
Open in 2002, the Walker Cup in 1963, and the
Senior Open Championship on six occasions, 1987–90,
2003, and 2006.
In 2003 the 18th hole on the Ailsa Course, "Ailsa
Hame", was renamed "Duel in the Sun" as homage to
the battle between Watson and Nicklaus in 1977.
