The 1979 Open Championship was the 108th Open Championship, held 18–21 July at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England. Seve Ballesteros, 22, won the first of his five major titles, three strokes ahead of runners-up Jack Nicklaus and Ben Crenshaw.[1] It was the first of his three Open Championship victories; he raised the Claret Jug again in 1984 and 1988.[2][3]

This was the last Open scheduled to end on Saturday;[4] in 1980 it moved to a Sunday final round, similar to the other three majors.
