    The British Open. Nowt wrong with that. It's my second favourite of the four. Masters, British Open, US Open and then the PGA nonsense which shouldn't really qualify imo.

    No, it's The Open, nothing snobby about it. Ridicules that the US have 3 majors

    It's not pretentious bóllocks to refer to The FA as The FA is it? Or do you call it the English FA?*

    Neither is it to refer to The Open as The Open.

    * The others seem to include their country in their title

    Not forgetting of course the FAI.

    You lot are very pretentious and arrogant all the same though I do agree with you, it's just The Open.

    Yeah there is. There are many Open Championships in many countries and every country prefaces theirs with the country name to distinguish them. Calling the British Open as The Open makes it sound like it is somehow better. People like to deny it but we all know it's true.

    Mind you, I would actually agree that it is the best of the Open Championships, but that's just my opinion. The pretense I refer to is rife in golf in the UK however. Gentlemen must wear a jacket in the clubhouse after 4pm blah, blah, blah...

    Can't stand that nonsense.

    The Jockanese invented Golf, you can't disown them one second and then claim them as yours next.

    Football I will give you though I do believe the Chinese are now trying to claim it as theirs.

    Strangely enough when you are the first country to have an Open championship you won't prefix it with the the country... so ours is The Open, why should we change the name afterwards
