Heading into the final round of the 154th British Open Championship, no golfer was hotter than Sam Burns. He held a two-stroke lead, and his score of 127 over rounds two and three were the lowest ever in consecutive rounds at a major. 

But bogeys on holes four, five and six on Sunday opened the door for Ryan Fox, who smashed through to win the  first major of his career at Royal Birkdale. 

By the end of the tournament, Fox was more concerned with Cameron Young, but his birdie on No. 18 sealed the deal for the New Zealander who came back from tied for 85th after the first round. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the golfers to take home the Claret Jug as British Open champion can you name in 12 minutes?

Good luck!
