No runaway favourite at The Open
For the first time since Tiger Woods picked up a golf club, there is no overwhelming favourite for a golf major. Gone, for a few months at least, are the days where Tiger would be an almost odds-on favourite.

Here's our take on the frontrunners, alongside our choice of an outsider who may 'do a Trevor Immelman'. (14/07) MoreYou may also like
