Notable Notes: J.H. Taylor won the first of his five Open Championships here. It was also the first won by any of the "Great Triumvirate": Taylor, Harry Vardon and James Braid, who among them won 16 Opens. ... As the first British Open played outside Scotland, it also marked the debut of Royal St. George's in the Open rota. ... Taylor was the first non-Scottish pro golfer to win the Open (John Ball, an English amateur, had previously won.)
