House with best views of British Open is up for sale
Toronto Star|July 18, 2024
An estimated 250,000 golf fans will pour into Royal Troon to watch the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods at the British Open.
House with best views of British Open is up for sale

Spectators walk past Blackrock House near the second and 16th holes at Royal Troon in Troon, Scotland. The house is for sale.

The Kelly family might have the best vantage point, though, when the 152nd edition begins Thursday. Blackrock House sits in the middle of the championship course and has views of five holes.

Their private home, one-half of a two-dwelling structure, has drawn particular attention this week because of the "for sale" signs posted around it.

The Kellys have watched three editions of the British Open from their front lawn, including an epic duel in 2016 when Henrik Stenson beat Phil Mickelson.
