BRITISH OPEN PROFILE
Leonard has already fallen in love with this tournament after a brilliant start to his Open career. In 1997 his name was added to the claret jug after a scintillating final round 65 and in 1999 he almost made it two wins in three years in a play-off at Carnoustie. His other achievements include wins in the 1998 Players Championship and the 1992 US Amateur so he has the class and temperament for the big occasion. Leonard has been one of the most consistent players on the US Tour over the last three months. In that time, his ten starts have yielded a win in the Worldcom Classic, a tied sixth in the Houston Open, a tied fifth in the Kemper Open and five further top 20s, including finishing 10th at the US Open last month. He missed the cut at Lytham last year, but always manages to play well in Scotland and another bold showing can be expected.
