    The official Champion Golfers register directly enumerates this playing with number 111, venue, and champion but misrenders the ordinal as 111st. The higher-resolution official Previous Opens record supplies the correct official name The 111th Open. Historical venue and champion spellings follow the longitudinal register; any trailing parenthesized win count is occurrence metadata and is not part of the recorded winner name. Dates are null because the reviewed official records do not state them, and no date was inferred.

    The official champion register establishes the winner and historical regulation total. The separate official playoff register establishes historical playoff status, including the 1876 walkover. The 2026 final report establishes that winner in regulation; no unverified total or relative score is inferred.
