Fred Couples, the 1992 Masters Champion and former World Number One, won the 2012 Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex at Turnberry, overturning Bernhard Langer’s one shot lead.
Couples was one of 32 Major Champions in the field in Scotland and the number is expected to be bolstered in 2013 by Fijian Vijay Singh, whose 2000 Masters triumph was sandwiched between two US PGA Championship victories.
Royal Birkdale, which last hosted The Open Championship in 2008 when Padraig Harrington claimed his second consecutive Claret Jug, will become the 11th different course to host The Senior Open Championship. It will be only the second course in the north West of England to host the Championship, after Royal Lytham & St Annes between 1991 and 1995
