1914 British Open Winner and Scores

The 1914 British Open was the 54th time this major was played — but the last one until 1920.

Winner: Harry Vardon, 306

Where it was played: Prestwick Golf Club in Prestwick, South Ayrshire, Scotland

Tournament dates: June 18-19, 1914

Leader after first round: Harry Vardon, 73

Leader after second round: Harry Vardon, 150

Leader after third round: J.H. Taylor, 226

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.
