slapshot Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 It's called an Open because it's open to anyone who qualifies, professional or amateur.As far as the first one, I'll guess at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., 1903? Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
