Cleary: America! Gift fourth major to the world
With news that Augusta National will confer Masters-qualification status on the winners of several national Opens, including our Australian Open, Matt Cleary argues that the governing bodies of world golf should spread the love further and convince the PGA of America to relinquish Major status of its U.S PGA Championship, and each year grant a different country's national Open the title of Major.
