THE OPEN PROFILES
|
 |
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods has won the Open twice at St Andrews but there are concerns about his state of mind.
Phil Mickelson
The Masters champion has always struggled with British links golf.
Lee Westwood
A leg injury has hampered Westwood's build-up to St Andrews, which has to be a concern.
Ernie Els
A consistent Open performer, there is no-one currently active in world golf who plays links golf better.
Rory McIlroy
In good form and a links expert, McIlroy will fancy his chances at St Andrews.
Padraig Harrington
Twice an Open champion, Harrington is due a win and has also won the Dunhill Links on two occasions.
Graeme McDowell
The new US Open champion likes the links, but is he emotionally drained after his recent exploits?
Justin Rose
In the form of his life, Englishman Rose is a potential winner at St Andrews.
Ian Poulter
Poulter knows how to play a links course but a bizarre spider-bite injury has hit his preparations.
Martin Kaymer
A born winner with five wins in 94 starts, Kaymer could well challenge having got to grips with links golf.
Paul Casey
Not a links natural and poor form suggests Casey may struggle to contend.
Retief Goosen
The stats suggest Goosen will be there or thereabouts - but maybe not the winner.
Luke Donald
Needs to take both his links game and his ability to play the back nine on Sunday to another level if he is to compete.
Jim Furyk
Too good to discount, but there appear more likely winners than this American star.
Ross Fisher
It Fisher can get his putting right, he has the game to contend in Fife.
Steve Stricker
The recent world number two has had fitness problems of late but did finish in the Open top 10 in 2007 and 2008.
Sergio Garcia
The Spaniard has gone close on several occasions at the Open but is lacking any sort of form at present.
KJ Choi
A real competitive force, Choi has impressed at the Open Championship before.
Chris Wood
The young Englishman has played two Opens and starred at both - narrowly missing out last year.
Stewart Cink
The American is back in Scotland to defend his title after last year's play-off victory over Tom Watson.
