British Open to return to St Andrews in 2015
(Reuters) - The Open will return to the 'home of golf' in 2015 when the championship is played at St Andrews, the Royal & Ancient said on Tuesday.
It will be the 29th time that golf's oldest major has been held over the Old Course. It was last held there in 2010 when South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen won by seven shots.
"St Andrews has proved time and again that it is perfectly equipped to host The Open and I am certain we will yet again see a worthy winner lift the Claret Jug," the R&A's chief executive Peter Dawson said in a statement.
"Players, spectators and officials alike will welcome a return to the game's spiritual home and I fully expect that we will witness another thrilling Championship."
Open champions who have won at St Andrews include Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo.
This year's championship, won by Darren Clarke, was held at Royal St George's. Next year's takes place at Royal Lytham & St Annes with the 2013 version at Muirfield and Royal Liverpool hosting in 2014.
The 2015 edition, which will be the 144th championship, will take place from July 16 to 19.

Material world lifts stocks; Dow, S&P off for fourth week
By Rodrigo Campos
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Dow and S&P 500 closed out their fourth week of losses with a small gain on Friday, but only with the help of a weaker dollar boosting metals prices and basic materials stocks.
Thin trading made for a lackluster day on Wall Street, with desks short-staffed before the Memorial Day holiday that will keep U.S. markets closed on Monday. Volume was the second lightest so far this year.
The greenback fell broadly after weaker-than-expected U.S. consumer spending and housing data stoked worries that the economic recovery is losing momentum. The U.S. Dollar Index <.DXY> fell 1 percent, its largest drop since January 13.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc
The inverse correlation of the dollar to equities "seems to be a trend that you can focus on as an investor for the time being," said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial in Westport, Connecticut.
"The logic is that a weaker dollar helps increase exports, sales and profits for multinational companies in the United States."
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> added 38.82 points, or 0.31 percent, to 12,441.58. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> rose 5.41 points, or 0.41 percent, to 1,331.10. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> gained 13.94 points, or 0.50 percent, to 2,796.86.
For the week, the Dow lost 0.56 percent, the S&P shed 0.16 percent and the Nasdaq dropped 0.23 percent.
It was the fourth straight week of losses for both the Dow and the S&P 500. For the Nasdaq, it was the third decline in the last four weeks.
About 5.44 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex and Nasdaq, the second-lowest trading volume so far in 2011 by a thin margin. It fell way below last year's estimated daily average of 8.47 billion.
Advancing stocks outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a ratio of nearly 3 to 1, while on the Nasdaq, nearly two stocks rose for every one that fell.
Bank stocks led gains in Europe and also boosted the U.S. market. Bank of America
Medco Health Solutions Inc
On the macroeconomic front, separate reports showed the U.S. economy remained sluggish early in the second quarter with high gasoline prices crimping consumer spending and bad weather helping to push home resales to a seven-month low in April.
