Royal Liverpool
Rory McIlroy lifted the Claret Jug the last time The Open was held at Royal Liverpool in 2014.
Two of the three amateurs who have won The Open were Hoylake members: John Ball and Harold Hilton. The other amateur winner, Bobby Jones, won his third Open at Hoylake, an event which was the second of four steps in his unmatched Grand Slam.
