1894 Open Championship
The 1894 Open Championship was the 34th Open Championship, held 11–12 June at Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, England. J.H. Taylor won the Championship by five strokes from runner-up Douglas Rolland. This was the first Open Championship held outside Scotland.[1]
Details of play
The players had to battle heavy winds in the first round and the scoring suffered as a result. Blyth—along with most of the field—was victimized by the swirling winds, firing a disappointing 91. However, he regained his composure and scored significantly better in the final three rounds. His round-by-round results were as follows: 91-84-84-82=341.
