The 1992 Open Championship was a men's major golf championship and the 121st Open Championship, held from 16 to 19 July at Muirfield Golf Links in Gullane, Scotland. Nick Faldo won his third Open Championship and fifth major title by one stroke over runner-up John Cook.[2] It was Faldo's second win at Muirfield, where he won his first Claret Jug in 1987.[3] Daren Lee of England was the only amateur to make the cut; he earned the silver medal as low amateur and finished in a tie for 68th place.
