The Colombian Open, or Abierto de Colombia, is a golf tournament on the Colombian Tour that was first played in 1945. It has also on occasion been an event on the Tour de las Americas.
In 1956, the Colombian Open was the first victory as a professional for seven time major winner Arnold Palmer. In 2001, Camilo Villegas won a record fifth consecutive amateur prize, at the same time becoming only the second amateur to take the overall title.

Famous quotes containing the word open:
“The attempt to be an ideal parent, that is, to behave correctly toward the child, to raise her correctly, not to give to little or too much, is in essence an attempt to be the ideal child—well behaved and dutiful—of one’s own parents. But as a result of these efforts the needs of the child go unnoticed. I cannot listen to my child with empathy if I am inwardly preoccupied with being a good mother; I cannot be open to what she is telling me.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
