The Open was played in almost incessant rain and a cross wind. Willie Campbell was the warm favourite amongst the local crowd and was followed by the majority of the spectators. Willie Park, Jr. and Willie Fernie were paired together in the preceding group.
Campbell made a good start reaching the turn in 35 and eventually finishing with a 77. This was enough for a four stroke lead over Bob Martin and Archie Simpson with David Brown and Willie Park, Jr. a further shot behind. Ben Sayers took 83 and they were the only six players to score better than 85.
In the second round Campbell reached the turn in 39. Park had reached the same hole in 37 but was still three behind. Playing a few groups behind Martin reached the turn in 38 and was level with Park at that point. The other contenders had faded away. Reaching the 16th hole Campbell was still two ahead of Park. Park had an excellent three at the hole. Campbell tried to carry the fairway bunker but his ball landed in the thick grass at the top of it. "He made a desperate effort to force it onto the green, but it proved futile, and five strokes were lost in the bunker". He eventually took nine and his chances of winning were gone. Park finished with two fives for a total of 161. In the second round he didn't have a score worse than five and wasn't in a single bunker in either round. Campbell finished one better than Park on the final two holes but was still three behind on 164. Martin couldn't quite match Park's good finish and ended a stroke behind on 162.
Tiger Woods, age 20, was the only amateur to make the cut and finished tied for 22nd; he turned professional six weeks later. Jack Nicklaus, 56, was one stroke out of the lead after 36 holes, but fell back on the weekend and tied for 44th.

Previous lengths of the course for The Open Championship (since 1950):
Entries closed on the Saturday before the event but a number of players entered on the Monday and "the committee declined to accept them". These late entries were later allowed to compete "under protest" but received no prize-money.
Hugh Kirkaldy had the best round of the morning. He three-putted the first two holes but still reached the turn in 39. Playing into a strong wind, he came back in 44 for a round of 83. He was closely followed by four players on 84. Willie More reached the turn in 40, coming back in 44. Andrew Kirkaldy had one of the better back nines of 43 to also score 84. The others on 84 were Fernie and Davie Grant, "one of the late entrants".
Final Round | David Duval Wins The Open | 130th Open Championship
David Duval reached the pinnacle of his career at The 130th Open Championship in 2001, winning the Claret Jug on his seventh attempt.
Of the 156 players who entered, 15 were past champions, including Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods.
After making the cut at St Annes Golf Club, Duval shot 65 on day three to put him into serious contention for the championship.
The American was tied for the lead with Alex Cejka, Bernhard Langer and Ian Woosnam going into the final round. It was shaping up to be one of the closest final days in Open history. But one thing was for certain - there was going to be a first time major winner crowned at St Annes.
Take the time to relive an historic Open moment and Duval lifting the Claret Jug.

David Duval’s Open Triumph | Every Shot | 130th Open Championship
A year after Tiger Woods won his first Open Championship, there was an unexpected winner of the Claret Jug - that man was David Duval.
The 130th Open was shaping up to be one of the most competitive in history. 15 former champions were in the field, meaning that the eventual winner would have to be on top form.
Duval had made six Open appearances since his debut in 1995 and finished 11th twice in that time. In 2001 he made the cut, tied for 35th place on a score of even par.
It was on Saturday that the American’s title challenge began. Duval played a round of 65, holing seven birdies and dropping just one shot to put him joint first with Alex Cejka, Bernhard Langer and Ian Woosnam. It was all to play for heading into the championship round.
