YORK-BORN Simon Dyson will be in Major-winning company when he tees off in The Open Championship on Thursday.
As the sixth trio out, Malton & Norton Golf Club’s Dyson is paired with three-time Major winner Vijay Singh of Fiji and America’s Gary Woodland, whose recent win in the Transitions Championship nudged him into the world’s top 50.
Danny Willett, who is coached by The Oaks GC head professional Graham Walker, is in the first threesome out at Royal St George’s with Australia’s Nathan Green and America’s Jerry Kelly, the latter having the distinction of hitting the first shot in the 140th Open Championships at the Sandwich course.
