Trouble is, low scores in the British Open do not always translate into the claret jug. A PAIR OF DEUCESBrandt Snedeker had a 68 for his lowest start to a British Open since 2012. If it seems strange to see Snedeker at Royal St. George’s, there’s a reason. That would be Tony Jacklin in 1969 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes (Sandy Lyle, who won at Royal St. George's in 1985, was born in England but played under the Scottish flag). "Hopefully, Royal St George’s with the St George’s cross is kind of a lucky omen this week."
