Moving the hosting of the match's venue from Yorkshire to St. Mellion,Saltash, Cornwall,the B & H International Open was selected as the permanent locale for it, attested to and congratulated by the aforementiond Jack Nickolaus signed facsimile letter.The course has 18 outstanding holes and measures just over 6,200 yards,with Olazabal,Langer and Ballesteros amongst competition winners. Nicklaus even created his own version of Amen Corner with the 10th,11th & 12th holes a real highlight of an extraordinary golf course.The Nicklaus course hosted the Benson & Hedges International Open on 7 occasions between 1979 and 1995.
