It is all eyes on Royal Birkdale this week for the only golf Major outside of the USA. It is the British Open of course and battle for the Claret Jug will be back on. Defending champion Henrik Stenson will be out to do what Padraig Harrington did back in 2008 at Royal Birkdale and that is, defend The Open title successfully. It is a big ask though and the field looks wide open for this one.
Americans Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler are 14/1 joint favourites to win the title and then you have Rory McIlroy, who like Johnson needs to rediscover a bit of form. There is a strong European challenge coming in this year with the likes of Spanish duo Sergio Garcia and Jon Rahm, and English pair Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose all trading well.
