The best golfers in the world (bar the World Number 1, you know who!) descend on Royal Birkdale this week for The Open.
So, Tiger is out and reigning champion Padraig Harrington has a wrist injury...so who has a realistic chance to win?
Well, the player favoured by the bookmakers is Sergio Garcia. Its not often the favorite wins (unless it is Tiger!) but Sergio performed well last year just missing out to Padraig and he is definitely still playing very well now. His improved putting has made a big difference and, should he triumph on Sunday, I think he will be a very popular winner.

Two in a row for Harrington - not often done in a Major. Well done Padraig!
