Charles turned professional in 1960 and went onto win more than 60 international tournaments including 5 PGATour wins, 4 New Zealand Opens and three New Zealand PGA Championships. His career continued and then, after the age of 50, he won 23 Champions Tour titles, along with other senior tournaments.

Who is the only left-handed player to win the British Open? Is it:

A. Bob Charles

B. Mike Weir
C.Phil Mickelson

D. Nick O’Hearn

Just go to the entry form at GolfNow.com to submit your answer and tomorrow, we’ll tell you which lefty won the British Open and, if your answer was correct, then you will add one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings. Okay, let’s find out the answer to our question from yesterday’s show, which was:

Who was the first golfer to break 70 in each round of The British Open?

The first time that anyone broke 70 during the British Open was in 1904 at Royal St. George’s when not just one, but three golfers shot in the 60’s – including that year’s champion, Scottish professional Jack White, who shot a 69 in the final round for his lowest score of the tournament, along with J.H. Taylor who shot a 68 in the final round and James Braid, who was technically the first golfer to break 70 when he shot a 69 in the third round. Then, almost 90 years later at the 1993 Open - which was once again held at Royal St. George’s - Greg Norman won his second Claret Jug with scores of 66-68-69 and 64. BUT … it was actually Ernie Els, who played before Norman in the final round that year, who has the distinction of being the first player to shoot below 70 in all four rounds with scores of 68, 69, 69 and 68.

So, if you answered C – then you were right, which means that you now have one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings and our prize today is another British Open prize package which also includes the book, Golf, As It Was In The Beginning – the Legendary British Open courses. Okay, computer, show me today’s winner:

Okay, it took over 40 years after the first British Open for a golfer to break 70 during a round and, then, it was even longer before someone did it in every round and so, that leads us to our trivia question for today, which is:

Who was the first golfer to break 70 in each round of The British Open? Was it:

A. Greg Norman

B. Nick Price

C. Ernie Els or

D. Jesper Parnevik

As always, mark your answer on the entry form at GolfNow.com, and on tomorrow’s show, we’ll tell you who it was and you can find out if your answer was correct. Okay, now, let’s find out the answer to our question from yesterday’s show, which was:

Which golfer watched as a streaker ran by him on the 18^th green after winning a playoff for his first victory at The British Open?

The 1995 British Open at St. Andrews was just one instance where streakers have made an appearance at this major, which seems to be very popular with naked fans for some reason.

That year, the victim was John Daly - who saw two people running towards him immediately after making his putt on the 18^th hole to win the playoff against Italy’s Costantino Rocca. One was his wife, and the other was serial streaker Mark Roberts, wearing only – well you can see for yourself. The first time we can find that the Open was streaked was in 1985 when a man ran onto the 18^th green and got punched by golfer Peter Jacobsen. Then, when Tiger Woods made his first professional appearance at the 1997 British Open, Nikki Moffat ran out wearing only a G-string with tiger stripes painted all over her body. And in 2000, again at St. Andrews, three female and two male streakers made an appearance, including stripper Jacqui Salmond who ran out and danced around – appropriately enough - the flag pole on the 18^th green just after Tiger teed off on the 18^th hole before going on to win his very first British Open.

So, if you answered C – then you were right, which means that you now have one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings and today we’re giving away another one of our special we’ve British Open prize packages which includes the book, The British Open-A History of Golf’s Greatest Championship. Okay, computer, show me today’s winners:

And our winner is Kevin Sweeney of Canon City, Colorado. Congratulations, Kevin, and now, to claim this British Open prize package, just send an e-mail to me at keri@golfnow.com within the next 30 days and we will send your prize out to you.

Okay, that is it for our show on this Tuesday.

Then, immediately following Caddyshack, there will be an extended sneak preview of the premiere episode of Highway 18, so I hope you get a chance to watch.

It’s Friday, July 11th and we’re giving away a Bag Boy travel cover. Let’s find out if you’re our winner - today on Golf Now’s trivia contest.

Hey there, Keri Murphy with our last edition of GolfNow’s trivia contest for the week and our featured course for today is the Lexington course at the Revere Golf Club in Las Vegas – another course in our GolfNow network where you’ll find great tee time deals when you book online with us at www.GolfNow.com - the #1 tee time website in the nation. Okay, let’s see what our final trivia question is for this week.

Caddyshack is certainly most golfer’s favorite movie about golf and many fans know a lot of the dialogue by heart. But, let’s see how much you know about one of the other details in the movie, like the one in our question for today, which is:

What brand of beer did Rodney Dangerfield have on tap in his golf bag in the movie Caddyshack? Was it:

A. Pabst Blue Ribbon

B. Schlitz

C. Budweiser or

D. Miller Genuine Draft

Just mark your answer on the entry form at GolfNow.com and, on Monday’s show, we’ll tell you what beer it was and we’ll see if your answer earned you another entry into our computer for our daily drawings.

Now, let’s find out the answer to our question from yesterday’s show, which was:

Which NFL quarterback tried to qualify for this year’s U.S. Open? Was it:

When he’s not quarterbacking for the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo likes to spend a lot of time on the golf course – which is about the only place he can hide from reporters asking him about his relationship with Jessica Simpson. Romo has attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open before and, while his playing has been good – it hasn’t been good enough just yet. In May at the local qualifying tournament in Dallas, his final score of five-over-par 75 wasn’t enough to earn him a place at Torrey Pines for the Open but he did get to play on the course with Justin Timberlake and Matt Lauer during Golf Digest’s U.S. Open Challenge where he finished with a final score of 84.

So, if you answered A - then you were right and you’ve added one more entry into our computer for our daily drawings where you can win great golf prizes and our prize today is a Bag Boy T-10 travel cover. Okay, computer, show me today’s winner:

And our winner today is Rob Norrell of Indianapolis, Indiana.
