COMMEMORATE PETER THOMSON 51 YEARS VICTORY

"I've been second place twice in the preceding Opens at Carnoustie and Lytham. So I was entitled to expect what was coming. But nothing warned me of the tremendous elation that came when I finally holed out at Birkdale! It was a dream come true. In a moment of joy I tapped in my final putt with the back of the putter - but it didn't matter. It was finally mine !"
