A look at key anniversaries in British Open history:150 years ago (1866): Willie Park Sr. won his third British Open at Prestwick by posting the lowest scores of the opening two rounds (54-56) to build a five-shot lead. He closed with a 59 for a two-shot victory over his brother, David Park. Old Tom Morris finished fourth, while Young Tom Morris finished ninth in his second Open. Twelve players completed the championship. All of them were from Scotland. Parks first prize was 6 pounds.---125 years ago (1891): In the final year that the British Open was contested over 36 holes in one day, Hugh Kirkaldy had rounds of 83-83 to beat his brother, Andrew Kirkaldy, and Willie Fernie by two shots at St. Andrews. Andrew Kirkaldy took a 6 at the Road Hole and had a putt to tie his brother. He wound up three-putting. Hugh Kirkaldy won 10 pounds for his only Open title. It was the third runner-up finish for Andrew Kirkaldy.---100 years ago (1916): The British Open was canceled because of World War I.---75 years ago (1941): The British Open was canceled because of World War II.---50 years ago (1966): Jack Nicklaus became the fourth player to complete the career Grand Slam with his one-shot victory over Doug Sanders and Dave Thomas at Muirfield. This was the first time the Open was contested over four days (one year after the U.S. Open went to four days), though it still ended on Saturday. Nicklaus made birdie at the par-5 17th to break a three-way tie and his par on No. 18 gave him his sixth professional major.---25 years ago (1991): Ian Baker-Finch won his only major with a 64-66 weekend at Royal Birkdale for a two-shot victory over Mike Harwood. Seven years earlier, Baker-Finch had a share of the 54-hole lead and shot 79. This time, he had a one-shot lead and made five birdies in the opening seven holes to seize control. Jodie Mudd tied for fifth by becoming the first player in British Open history to post a 63 in the final round. Payne Stewart matched the feat two years later.---20 years ago (1996): Tom Lehman, who had endured close calls at the Masters (1994) and U.S Open (1995, 1996), finally broke through with a ball-striking exhibition at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He was at 198 after three rounds, and even closing with a 73, no one could catch him. Ernie Els closed with a 67 and tied for second, two shots behind. He remembers being in the clubhouse hopeful of Lehman making two bogeys. Sitting next to him was Tiger Woods, the 20-year-old amateur consulting Els on whether he should go pro. Tom made par and Tiger turned pro. I was (doomed) either way, Els said. Woods tied for 22nd and turned pro a month later.---10 years ago (2006): One month after missing the cut for the first time in a major, Tiger Woods won the British Open for the second straight year after holding off a strong challenge from Chris DiMarco. Woods closed with a 67 at Royal Liverpool for a two-shot victory and sobbed on the 18th green. It was his first victory since his father died two months earlier of cancer. Woods became the first player since Tom Watson (1982-83) to win back-to-back in the British Open. His 11th major tied him with Walter Hagen. Dwayne Haskins Womens Jersey . Sgt.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Sprinter LaShawn Merritt has won a pair of Olympic gold medals and might take home a few more before his career is over.Hes been expelled from his sport for more than a year, too.The man who has seen both the pinnacle and the bottom is working on his next chapter on the track -- but also thinking ahead. Merritt, who turned 30 last Monday, owns a trucking business, a day care and is working on starting up a counseling center in his hardscrabble hometown of Portsmouth, Virginia.Im not someone trying to reinvent the wheel, said the sprinter, who tries to secure his Olympic spot in the 400 meters Sunday. But I dont want to be the guy whos an Olympic gold medalist, and also broke. That happens a lot in the U.S.Track stars, even those who enjoy long careers and win Olympic gold medals the way Merritt has, are not guaranteed millions, the way so many football, baseball and basketball players are in the United States.There are always athlete rights movements -- currently best reflected in efforts spearheaded by 800-meter runner Nick Symmonds -- to give sprinters and throwers a bigger share of the pie from licensing deals negotiated by the U.S. Olympic Committee and tracks governing bodies.Merritt is working outside the system, well aware that track and field will only take him so far.It goes by fast, and you definitely have to set yourself up for afterward, he said. A lot of guys finish the sport and they dont know what theyre going to do, not just for money, but for things to just do. They go into coaching. I think Id be a great mentor, but I dont want to coach, day-to-day.One of Merritts businesses currently includes five 18-wheelers that haul freight long distances.He also wants to run counseling centers for poor parents and kids, the struggles of whom he witnessed far too often growinng up in a poor part of southeast Virginia.dddddddddddd. Merritt also suffered his own tragedy, when his older brother, Antwan, fell to his death out of a dorm-room window in 1999. It might help explain the sprinters compassion for those less fortunate.If I can get this together to be able to get great people together to mentor these kids, then come in and use my influence, its something that needs to be done, he said. The trucking thing, that just makes sense. But the counseling thing is something that needs to be done.Merritts career has seen its share of ups and downs.In 2008, he had a back-and-forth rivalry going with American Jeremy Wariner, and he beat Wariner in Beijing by a whopping 0.99 seconds to take the gold medal. Merritt followed up in 2009 by beating Wariner at world championships, as well.But in 2010, Merritt failed drug tests -- the result of using a banned substance found in a male-enhancement product. A humiliation, he called it, and he was banished for 21 months. Reinstated in time for the London Olympics, he went into those games nursing a tender hamstring and didnt make it out of the qualifying round.Things have gotten better.He came into this years Olympic trials with the worlds fastest time in 2016 at 200 meters -- not his preferred distance -- opening up the possibility that he could join Allyson Felix in going for the 2-4 double in Rio. Merritt said hell decide on whether to pursue the 200 after qualifying for the 400 is over Sunday night.His plans for the long-term future are better laid out.Its definitely about more than running for me, he said. Its about maximizing these opportunities and setting myself up for the second chapter of my life. ' ' '
