            Presumably 8 will be the Norman dynasty. (Greg for no.10)

              That would fit number 8 as well: Norman.

              Edit: scooped!

                  2 = Harrington

                  And that seals the Open winners theory.

                    Putting a quiz up on here is like dangling your foot over the side of a canoe in a piranha-infested river!

                      My spies tell me there are at least two characters on Lost named after empiricist philosophers. But only one shares his name with an Open winner. OK, not my spies, so much as the Internet.

                        Given the answer to number 10, I bet it will be.

                              The physicist is Thomson. Which recalls Australian Peter Thomson. So they're all golfers who've done something.

                                    Ah, boris, my edit makes a nonsense of your post.
