Notable Notes: Harry Vardon and the defending champ, J.H. Taylor, were tied at five Open wins each entering this tournament. At the end of it, Vardon had his record sixth victory, three strokes ahead of Taylor. ... Vardon was over 44 years old at the time of the win. He remained the oldest Open winner in the 20th century until the victory by Roberto de Vicenzo at the 1967 British Open. ... Vardon, Taylor and James Braid constituted the "Great Triumvirate" and won 16 Opens between them. But this was the last. ... The Open wasn't played again until 1920 due to World War I.
