This is the last major of the year, and it seems that every top golfer will be there. These five may surprise.
The Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland, which is hosting the British Open this week for the 10th time since 1923, has delivered such big-name winners as Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson.
Will another big name prevail at Troon this year? Or will a less heralded contender pull off a surprise, as Todd Hamilton did in 2004 when he outdueled Ernie Els in a playoff?
The field, as always, is stacked with the top players in the game, including No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, No. 3 Xander Schauffele and No. 9 Bryson DeChambeau, each trying to capture his second major title this year.
Here are five other players to keep an eye on.
Cameron Young
It’s difficult to believe that Young — who made a great run at the title two years ago when he finished second behind Cameron Smith — is still searching for his first victory on the PGA Tour.
It could very well happen at Troon.
Young, 27, has produced some wonderful rounds in recent weeks, highlighted by his 59 in the third round at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.
