The Open Golf Championship An American golfer, Mr. T. D.

Armour, won the Open Championship at Carnoustie last week, beating the well- known Argentine professional Jurado by one stroke. The Prince of Wales, who had met Jurado in Buenos Ayres, made a special journey to the links to sec the final round. This is the eighth year in succession that the championship has been gained by an American. It may be noted also that the first seven places were taken by four Americans, two Argentines, and a Berlin professional of British origin. Thus completely has the Scottish game con- quered the world. And the winner, though a naturalized American, only left his native Scotland seven years ago.
