Background
History
Musselburgh was once certified as being the oldest golf course in the world by Guinness World Records; recently this 'record' was reassigned to St Andrews. There is documented evidence that golf was played at the links in 1672, while it is claimed that Mary, Queen of Scots, played nearby (at Seton) in 1567. Musselburgh Links was originally seven holes, with an 8th added in 1838 and the 9th in 1870. and the course hosted six Opens in all, the first in 1874 and the last in 1889. {| class="wikitable" !rowspan=2|Year!!rowspan=2|Winner!!colspan=3|Score |- !
