The Open Championship this weekend sees a huge chance for Rory McIlroy to win at home at Royal Portrush and add to an already incredible year.
Action on the Dunluce Course commences on Thursday until Sunday with a $17m purse, where yet another tournament could go the way of the player who just sets themselves apart this weekend.
Scottie Scheffler is still the big favourite and continues to be a consistent top ten finisher this year, having also won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, PGA Championship and Memorial Tournament.
