The '''1960 Open Championship''' was a golf tournament played at the ] in ]. In the 100th anniversary of the first Open Championship, Australian ] prevailed over ] by a single stroke in a tournament that marked the re-emergence of the Open Championship as a major stop for American golfers. |

] opened the tournament with consecutive rounds of 67, taking a two-stroke lead over Kel Nagle. The third round was disastrous for De Vicenzo, however, as he drove out of bounds on the 14th and settled for a 75, allowing Nagle to take a two-shot lead. Arnold Palmer, who earlier in the year had won the ] by erasing a seven-shot deficit in the final round, was four back after 54-holes. The final round was delayed until the next day due to a heavy rainfall, and when play resumed Palmer and Nagle both went out in 34. Palmer was still four-strokes behind, but he began another charge on the back. He made up strokes on the 13th and 15th, made a 4 on the 17th, then made birdie at the last. Nagle was standing over a crucial par putt on the 17th when he heard the roar signifying Palmer's birdie. He managed to collect himself and hole the putt, then made a safe 4 at the last to win the title by a single shot over Palmer. |

Already 39 at the time of his victory, this was Nagle's first Top 10 finish in a major championship. Although little-known outside of Australia at the time of the tournament, he went on to have success throughout the next decade and came close to winning another major at the ], losing to ] in a playoff. |

The appearance of Palmer, already the most popular golfer in the world, proved to be a turning point for the Open Championship. Up until that time few Americans made the trip to the Open Championship, with the cost of traveling to Britain often more than they stood to win in the tournament. Palmer's appearance reestablished the British Open as an important tournament for American golfers and, although Palmer himself skipped the tournament a few times afterward, the best American players began crossing the Atlantic with regularity from then on. Palmer would win the next two Opens. |
