Notable Notes: Harry Vardon made it back-to-back wins in the Open, and held or shared the lead following each round. ... Vardon's lead at the midway point (at the end of Day 1, since it was 36 holes per day) was only one stroke over J.H. Taylor. But as a sign of how tough the Day 2 scoring conditions were, Vardon's third-round 81 actually extended his lead. ... It was Vardon's third Open Championship victory.
