EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling finish of the Open Championship at the hallowed grounds of St Andrews in 1905. The crowd, dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, leans forward in anticipation as James Braid, the eventual winner, prepares to take his putt at the final hole. The tension in the air is palpable as Braid, a Scottish golfing legend, seeks to secure his place in history as the champion of this prestigious tournament. The Open Championship, also known as the British Open, is one of the oldest and most prestigious events in the sport of golf. Established in 1860, the tournament has been held at St Andrews Links in Scotland more than any other venue. The 1905 championship was particularly significant, marking the first time the event was held under the auspices of The R&A, the governing body of golf in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Braid, a native of Scotland, had a storied career in golf, with numerous victories to his name. But the Open Championship remained elusive until this moment. As he lines up his putt, the crowd holds its collective breath, hoping to witness history in the making. The scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of golf and the thrill of competition, frozen in time by the skilled photographers of the Illustrated London News.
