Qualifying Event: Wednesday 22nd July 2009
The Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake has, over the years, hosted some of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, including 11 Open Championships, 18 Amateur Championships and both Walker and Curtis Cup matches. Most recently, the Club staged the much acclaimed Open Championship in 2007 won by Tiger Woods, his third Open victory. It is in the development of the amateur game that Hoylake is perhaps best known by students of the game. The first Amateur Championship was played here in 1885, the first ever international match between England and Scotland in 1902 and the inaugural match between Great Britain and the USA (later known as the Walker Cup) in 1921. In the 21st century, the Club savours its traditions and history but is a warm and wonderful Club to visit as well as providing a stern test of golfing skills.
This week the FT Business Championship visited the 2006 Open Championship venue, Royal Liverpool Golf Club. A strong wind made playing conditions tricky on the immaculately presented course.
Sloop Inn posted a superb score of 75 early in the day to take the lead in the clubhouse. However, this event went
