The 2003 Open Championship was the 132nd Open Championship, held 17–20 July at Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich, England. Ben Curtis won his only major title to date, one stroke ahead of runners-up Thomas Bjørn and Vijay Singh. Bjørn had led in the final round by two shots with three holes to play, but needed three attempts to play out of a greenside bunker on the 16th hole. Playing in his first major championship and number 396 in the world rankings, Curtis became the first debut winner at The Open since Tom Watson in 1975.
