This episode takes a look at some of the recent British successes at the Open Championship and relives the stories behind each triumph.

Sir Nick Faldo is arguably Britain鈥檚 greatest modern day golfer and lifted the Claret Jug three times between 1987 and 1992. The Englishman won twice at Muirfield and once at St Andrews in what was a dominant period of his career.

Few will forget Darren Clarke鈥檚 triumph at Royal St George鈥檚 in 2011 as the Northern Irishman conquered the elements and his nerves to win his first major championship at the age of 42.

Fellow Northern Irishman and current world number one Rory McIlroy won the Claret Jug for the first time at Royal Liverpool in 2014 in devastating fashion as he become only the sixth golfer to win the Open after leading all four rounds.

Introduced by Eilidh Barbour.
