Rory McILROY may have a hot favorite for this week's open at Sandwich, but to lift the Claret jug is the last of the man of Kent, believes the 130 players on Sunday.

Ben Curtis was ranked 396th in the world and Making the appearance of his first major championship, when he once triumphed at Royal St George's in 2003.

"It is probably the 130 fellows who will win," Curtis insisted that now lies 194th in the world. "On the 23rd may, not feeling well, or the game is really bad, but quite a lot anyone can."

Eight years ago, Thomas Bjorn was three shots ahead of the field, with four to play, just finished bogey, double bogey, bogey, par and end topics.
