The 1969 Open Championship was the 98th Open Championship, held from 9–12 July at the Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lytham St Annes, England. Tony Jacklin won the first of his two major championships, two strokes ahead of Bob Charles.[2]
Jacklin was the first Briton to win The Open since 1951,[3] and it was another sixteen years until the next, Sandy Lyle in 1985.
It was the fifth Open Championship at Lytham & St Annes, which has hosted eleven times, most recently in 2012.
