Ogilvy On Lytham: "It is a sort of 'non-seaside' links."

Geoff Ogilvy on playing Lytham in 2001 and other memories of the place he first saw in 1996.

Still, while the first nine at Lytham is no pushover, it is the back nine that sticks in the memory. The six-hole string of par 4s heading home, after the potentially card-wrecking par-3 12th, is a stretch any golfer will be glad to play even par if the prevailing breeze is blowing. I know that to be true. In 2001 I was back at Lytham, this time to play in the Open. I missed the cut, but I recall enjoying the challenges presented by that tough inward half.
