STAND ON THE BLUE TEE of the Heritage's 12th hole and suddenly you will know why Jack Nicklaus is the greatest golfer the world has ever seen. A sight no man with a pounding heart and jittery swing would relish but still one to savour.

THERE IS NEVER TALK OF SECOND BEST at The London Golf Club, and to that end The International is not just the talented understudy. It stands alone and we like to think of it as merely different and a complement to The Heritage.
