In celebration of this historic event, Golf Australia magazine has produced a special 41-page preview of the game’s greatest major championship showcasing the course, the players and famous town surrounding it.

We examine some of the key storylines that will play out during the tournament including the chances of an Australian player hoisting the Claret Jug for the first time in 29 years.
