Spieth's incredible 13th hole

Royal Birkdale has been confirmed as the host venue for The 154th Open, meaning it will welcome golf's original Championship in 2026 - nine years on from its last staging.

The Open of 2017 produced a truly remarkable finale, with the events of the closing holes ranking among the most dramatic in the Championship's rich history.

Jordan Spieth was the central figure as the long-time leader found himself in all sorts of trouble on the par-4 13th and took a dramatic drop on the practice ground before eventually rescuing what proved to be a brilliant bogey.

Incredibly, Spieth went on to pick up five shots over his next four holes, sealing the Claret Jug in style with a finish for the ages.
