The 40-year-old American has something of a black-and-white Open Championship career. He's been to the event 14 times, missed the cut five times but also made the top five four times too. St Andrews, however, doesn't strike you as a venue that really suits him - his first visit reaped a tie for 42nd, his second saw him leave home on Friday night. Where the other Open venues allow him to make the most of his shot-shaping skills, the Old Course requires bigger hitting and longer carries (to clear the bunkers and mounds). On the other hand his form in 2010 has been much improved on recent years with two wins in the Spring at Westin Innisbrook and Harbour Town. He's far too good a player to be discounted in a major but it would be a surprise if he did enough to win this week.
