In an era of five-hour rounds and four-day championships, the Tennant Cup remains wonderfully old school.
The historic Scottish event, believed to be the world's oldest open amateur stroke-play championship, asks competitors to complete 72 holes in just two days. Players tackle 36 holes Saturday on Glasgow Golf Club's famed Gailes Links before the field is cut and the survivors return Sunday for another 36 holes at the club's Killermont course. The format has been a hallmark of the championship for generations and remains one of the most demanding tests in amateur golf.
