TURNBERRY, SCOTLAND (Feb. 27, 2007) Some things get better with age. After turning 100 this year, there's no time like the present for the Ailsa golf course at the Westin Turnberry in South Ayrshire, Scotland.

The legendary Ailsa has been home to three British Opens prior to 2009, including the epic "Duel in the Sun" of 1977, pitting Jack Nicklaus against Tom Watson. The two played together Saturday and Sunday and Watson never led until his two-putt birdie on the par-5 17th on Sunday. He then tapped in a two-foot birdie on the 18th to upset the Golden Bear.

If you didn't catch the action that sunny summer day, never fear, the duel is looped on a flat screen in the lobby in the clubhouse and is quite nostalgic.

Turnberry remains a favorite Open spot for many pro golfers.

"So many of the world's best golfers have told me they enjoying to Turnberry as one of the best Open venues in the world," Turnberry General Manager Stewart Selbie said.
