The English drought (curse??) at the Open Championship: What gives?

from 50 Things That Changed Golf · host Golf Digest

In 1992, Nick Faldo held off John Cook at Muirfield to win his third Open Championship. As it happened, this is the last time an English golfer ever captured the Claret Jug. The 33-year ongoing drought that ensued can't be explained by lack of talent or depth—England has had three world no. 1 golfers, and today they have the most players inside the world top 100 outside of America. To figure out what's happening, we dive deep into the various theories as to why the English keep coming up short in their home major. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
