Anyone who shoots four rounds in the 60s deserves to win the title and that's exactly what Sam Burns managed at the weekend's Valspar Championship. Young sensation Victor Hovland secure a T3 finish, paving the way for what will surely be his Ryder Cup debut in September.

Who......defending champion is Irishman Shane Lowry, he won way back in 2019 as the Open didn't take place last year.
Who will win this year?
Well it would take a brave man to pick The Open Championship winner this year, in the last ten years - eight of the Claret Jug winners have been at odds of 30/1 or higher. Claret Jugs never come easy, but this Kentish course takes the challenge up a notch.
Aside from Louis Oosthuizen finishing second, nothing is ever guaranteed. With that said, is Jon Rahm beatable now? The likes of Spieth, DJ, DeChambeau and McIlroy will be looking to find out. Or will we see somebody like Viktor Hovland or Matt Fitzpatrick upset the applecart and collect a first major? Just scrolling through these names is enough to get the blood pumping. Bring it on!
Let us know who you fancy, as we can't decide!
