Hint: They'd like you to stop calling it The Open Championship. I'll leave it up to you to research what name they've decided upon now.
If you can't even get it straight, how am I supposed to take the constantly-changing misleading name seriously? It's the one British thing, hence the British Open. You should name something in a way that best disambiguates it from its peers. End of story.
Edit: I guess I'd allow them to name it The ****ty Rainy Field of Windy Goat Hay Open for maximum accuracy.

But yeah, it is called the British Open in places that hold literally ALL of the other important golf tournaments to disambiguate it from the tons of other top-level events that happen only there.
People who think they know about golf, attempt to post like they know about golf, and prove to everybody just how ignorant they are.
