Correction: American Men's British Open Futility Streak Shortened to 32 Years and Counting
by Ted Gross

May 15, 2018

We don't hear from the readers too much at DSR, but when we're wrong about something then the floodgates open wide - which is appreciated!

It has been 32 years--not 52 as first reported--since an American man has played a British Open main draw match.

- The last American man to do so was Mark Talbott in 1986.

- Bill Andruss and Eliot Berry played in the 1977 British Open.

- Andruss also played the event in 1976, winning a first-round match.

- John Hutchinson played in 1973.

- And the great Mo Khan, the 1963 British Open champion representing Pakistan, played the event in 1972 as an American.
