Ask that same room when the Open is next going there and the conversation gets a great deal quieter. The course sits on the Ayrshire coast with the Firth of Clyde on one side, Ailsa Craig rising out of the water in the distance, and a working lighthouse standing sentry between the ninth green and tenth tee, and it has not hosted a men&rsquo;s major since 2009. It remains one of the most talked-about venues in the sport for reasons that have almost nothing to do with how it plays.</p>
