ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Tiger Woods called it “historic” and his “favorite.” Jack Nicklaus labeled it “a magical place.” They should know. Woods and Nicklaus are two of the greatest golfers the game has ever produced and they’ve each won two British Open titles at St. Andrews.

Royal and Ancient club member David Spence says to go to the grandstand at the back of the first green “because you can see the first, 18 and the 17th green.”
