The Open is the oldest of the four men’s Majors, dating from 1860, and the winner is crowned Champion Golfer Of The Year.
Rory McIlroy could, and should, have won that US Open, but missed two putts of under 3ft coming down the stretch. It is now ten years since Rory McIlroy won the last of his four Major titles – can he end this run at Troon?
Other British interest comes from Robert McIntyre who, fresh from his win last week at the Scottish Open, is aiming to become the firsts Scot this century to win The Open. The last six Majors have thrown up six different winners, all of them American.
World Number One Scottie Scheffler has been in imperious form this season, with eight tournament victories already, including the season’s first Major, The Masters. The winner of the season’s second Major, Xander Schauffele, has been in the top 10 of all three Majors this season, something only DeChambeau has also achieved.
