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
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.
As Dara Ó Briain points out in his excellent book on the English (Tickling the English) we didn't really invent sports merely unified certain ones under a set of Laws - games similar to rugby, football etc existed all over the world
