The big guns will battle it out for victory at The Open over the next four days at Royal Troon, where the year’s final major is up for grabs. Rory McIlroy will be desperate to bounce back from his heartbreaking US Open near-miss last month, while Bryson DeChambeau will hope to build on his breathtaking win at Pinehurst.
Home favourite Robert MacIntyre will fancy his chances after posting -18 to win the Scottish Open on Sunday, while the likes of Tiger Woods, Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Brian Harman are also in action.
