Harry Vardon won a record sixth Open Championship title, three strokes ahead of runner-up J.H.

[9] The thirteen at 164 played an additional 18 holes at Prestwick the next day to determine the final four places;[9] scores of 79 and better qualified.

[10] After the first two rounds on Thursday, Vardon led at 150, by one shot ahead of a relatively unknown James Ockenden from West Drayton Golf Club.

[1] Vardon and Taylor were paired together on Friday and, after Ockenden had a disappointing 83, they were clear leaders after the morning's third round.

The championship was largely decided at the fourth hole, where Taylor found the water and took seven to Vardon's four, which changed the lead.
