A Quote by Steve Rushin

I'd happily cover the British Open every year until St. Andrews slides into the sea or Scotland runs out of beer, whichever happens first.

When the British Open is in Scotland, there's something special about it. And when it's at St. Andrews, it's even greater.

Jack Nicklaus

St. Andrews is the Home of Golf and the greatest course in the world. Any time you can win at St. Andrews would be special. It's every golfer's dream to win out here.

Peter Uihlein

When one thinks of golf and Scotland, the first thing that comes to mind is usually St. Andrews, especially the famed Old Course.

Raymond Bonner

I've always felt like I was going to win a British Open at St. Andrews. That place is suited for me.

Brooks Koepka

As a kid, I remember John Daly bombing it around St. Andrews in 1995 to win the British Open, and people say we are similar in a lot of ways.

Dustin Johnson

St. Andrews provided a gentle forgetfulness over the preceding painful years of my life. It remains a haunting and lovely time to me, a marrow experience. For one who during her undergraduate years was trying to escape an inexplicable weariness and despair, St. Andrews was an amulet against all manner of longing and loss, a year of gravely held but joyous remembrances.

Kay Redfield Jamison

There are a lot of great players from Europe who have never played Augusta, but all the guys in America have all played St. Andrews. They've gone over and made a trip to play St. Andrews.

Tiger Woods

St. Andrews by far is my favorite golf course in the world. It's where the game all started, it's why we have 18 holes instead of 22 and I think the history behind St. Andrews is amazing. There is no other golf course in the world that can say that every great player who has ever played the game has played that golf course.

Tiger Woods

If you're going to be a player people will remember, you have to win the Open at St. Andrews.

Jack Nicklaus

The problem with water, though, is that the shortfalls don't show up until the very end. You can go on pumping unsustainably until the day you run out. Then all you have is the recharge flow, which comes from precipitation. This is not decades away, this is years away. We're already seeing huge shortages in China, where the Yellow River runs dry for part of each year. The Yellow River is the cradle of Chinese civilization. It first failed to reach the sea in 1972, and since 1985 it's run dry for part of each year. For 1997 it was dry for 226 days.

Lester R. Brown

Until you play it, St. Andrews looks like the sort of real estate you couldn't give away.

Sam Snead

I do not think I could go on living unless I felt that one day I might win the Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Ben Crenshaw

To have the opportunity to complete the slam at the Open at St Andrews, the home of golf, is something I will never ever forget.

Tiger Woods

First and foremost, Scotland is my home, and I do consider myself Scottish, but I also feel very British, and I hope that Scotland stays within the Union. I have a real concern about independence.

Rose Leslie

My favourite climb is St Kilda, west of Benbecula in Scotland's Outer Hebrides. It's incredibly remote, with the highest sea cliffs in Britain.

Steve Backshall

We Scots have a fierce pride in the things we do that others can never appreciate. I am the British No. 1, but I would prefer to be the British No. 1 from Scotland every time.

Andy Murray
