MERSEYSIDE Police has thanked the thousands of spectators who have 
attended this week's Open Golf Championship at Royal Birkdale, for helping to 
make it a massive success. Merseyside Police officers have worked closely with 
colleagues in our partner agencies, including:- The R&A, The Royal Birkdale Golf 
Course, Sefton Council and the local community, planning many aspects of the 
event for more than 12 months. 
 
Event Commander, Chief Superintendent Jonathan Roy, said:- "I would like 
to acknowledge the professionalism of our Police Officers and staff, R&A staff, 
marshals and volunteers, with whom we have worked over a long period of time to 
support the delivery of this event. We are delighted with the way things have 
gone during the last week. The crowd were friendly and good natured throughout, 
making the event memorable for all the right reasons."
