The 1989 Open Championship was the 118th Open Championship, held 20–23 July at the Royal Troon Golf Club in Troon, Scotland. Mark Calcavecchia won his only major championship in a playoff over Greg Norman and Wayne Grady.[2][3][4] It was the first playoff at the Open in fourteen years and the first use off the four-hole aggregate playoff, adopted in 1985.[5] The playoff was formerly 18 holes the following day (and 36 holes prior to 1964).[1] Calcavecchia was the first American champion at The Open in six years.[6] Norman shot a course record 64 (−8) in the final round to get into the playoff.[7]
