The Open

Royal Liverpool GoLf Club, Hoylake

The 151st Open will be Trav’s first Major golf tournament. He gained entry via his 3rd place finish at the World City Golf Championship in Hong Kong. The tournament kicks off on Thursday 20th July.

Trav has played a bit of Links golf in his amateur days but took the chance to get to Lancashire a week early to play a few courses and gets som tips from locals.

“Had a good day at Royal Lytham today had a fun match against some members. Won the match played well. I think I got 6 birdies, but actually there wasn’t too much wind.

“I’ve played Royal Birkdale, Southport and Ainsdale, which is a really tight links course. It was a three club wind so the was good practice. Got my first official practice round today at Royal Liverpool.”

“Weather has been good; havnt’t got wet yet playing golf, so that’s always a bonus in this part of the world! The week’s prep is going well with Dean, (Kinney) my coach, so it’s been an awesome build up week.”

Trav has now teamed up with GHW Golf Tours as its Ambassador. This will be the first occasion he will sport their logo.

I met Derek Anderson the principal of GHW at a couple of pro ams. I am really happy to be associated with his brand. He is a really positive and enthusiastic guy who has built a solid reputation in the golf tour space.
