The Open: R&A announce new code of conduct for spectators at Royal Birkdale

The R&A has introduced a new code of conduct called 'The Open Commitment' ahead of next week's Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, amid growing concerns over spectator behaviour at golf events. More than 300,000 fans are expected to attend the tournament. The move follows criticism from world number one Scottie Scheffler, who highlighted poor spectator behaviour during last year's Open at Royal Portrush.
